Written by: Kenneth Lonergan

When Lee's brother, Joe, dies after his heart fails he finds that he is now the guardian of his nephew, Patrick.

Really I think that the one line of the a description that I just wrote was more thrilling than the movie was. This film kept jumping back and forth in the timeline of Lee's life. It was hard to keep up with in some parts. Manly because I had to keep reminding myself what had just happened because I was so bored. When you keep looking at you clock to see if it's been an hour yet, and find that it's been only fifteen minutes, or you consider falling asleep because you know that the void of nothingness behind your eyelids is more interesting than what you paid money to see... you don't have a good film on your hands.
