In the wake of his wife's tragic death, a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented, sportswriter (Clive Owen) finds himself in a sudden stultifying state of single
parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into
the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just say
yes." Raising two boys—a curious six-year-old and a rebel teen from a previous marriage—in a
household devoid of feminine influence and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant,
instinctual, reckless and on the constant verge of disaster.
how come nobody prints my reviews, the volume on this show was very very low, I commend the film makers for not putting background music when someone is talking, appreciate that, but then don't neutralize it by turning the volume down on the speech, leave as is.
A touching, real film about coming back from grief and find life's new normal. Clive Owen is at the top of his game and the two boys are the heart of the film.
Bring a Kleenex and prepare for a wonderfully honest and smart film.
