I really loved this movie, not just because of the actors, but because the movie really goes to the heart of who we are as people, and shows how we all are part of each other. It is a touching and funny story of love and acceptance. Russell Crowe does a good job as the son, but Jack Thompson really is the star of the movie, his character is the heart of the show. Through him we see the world differently, and we see a parent who loves his child and only wants what is best for them. Many of us could learn some real lessons from this. The backdrop of Sydney adds a little extra charm, in that we see a part of the world with which most of us are not familiar. I have recommended this movie to many friends, and each of them has truly enjoyed the movie, and related to it.
