This was a very gripping movie. It is sweet and heart breaking at the same time. The movie did a great job of drawing the viewer in by giving them characters that they can relate too. It brings an interesting close to the 70s which was filled with macho he-man type movies. The decade shows that not only can men work in the mob, cheat people out of money and represent the hard working guy in a huge boxing match but men can also raise kids as a single parent. 

Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep were great in the movie. It is interesting that the story is essential type same concept as a future Oscar winner Rain Man, that also stars Hoffman.

Callie

Favorite: The actor that played the little boy did a great job.

Least Favorite: We started seeing the family unit dissolve.

Joel

Favorite: I connected with this movie as a Dad myself. It shows that kids need a father in their life.

Least Favorite: It is interesting that this movie is rated "PG". It had one scene that should have made it rated "R". It could have done without that scene.
