The subtle nod to military tradition in the cemetery scene was appreciated and helped define Larry's character. I'm sure not everyone understood it but for some of us it was touchdowns explained Larry's relationship to Molina and Bud. Pen url did a nice job with the character.

One might think that having a taxidermied dog as a focal point would be irreverent with low class humor but this is actually a cleverly written character piece. All of the main characters are multi dimensional and the story hits on some serious topics without being contrived. The actors do a nice job of bringing honesty to their individual plight. Daykin is grounded in her portrayal as a widower set in her ways. Danner brings a real honesty to the adoptive mother. This is a nice little movie that touches your emotions and makes you care about their situation. Foster care and adoption impacts more people than you think.

Compelling story about a serious topic. More conversations need to take place regarding Foster Care and Adoption. The characters are realistic. You grow emotionally attached to them. You laugh and cry.
