NP - This Xmas Season's Movies

[kelber at mindspring.com]

The trailer certainly makes it look like a by-the-numbers guy-weepy (ya know, like Shawshank Redemption). Is it drastically different from what's shown in the previews? I stay far, far away from weepies of any variety.

Beside the great acting, its best feature is the telling of its story via seamless meshing of past with present.  This meshing makes us quickly love and care for all the characters presented, but especially for the main one, a deeply broken man who always soldiers on through his great pain.  Highly recommended.
