I am at fault. I cannot see a father and son so definitely unconnected. This was a sad movie and I kept wishing that both the father and the son would wise up to how each was destroying the other. The father must have known and did know about the young people with which his son was cavorting. He really made no attempt to stem the tide. I cannot see such failures in life who absolutely just don't even try to improve situations in somewhat a sane fashion, or seek help. This movie left me with such a bad aftertaste. And Furlong, how inept his acting was. Bridges was up to par. I give this film a 1 out of 110.
