I started watching this movie without any previous information.
Ok, so an adolescent boy doesn't care about his parents who keep him on tight leash. They leave him home alone and he takes their car to drive 8 hours to the other side to visit an online girlfriend.
The movie had nothing special, nothing original until then.
The acting was alright, not excellent.
And then the unbelievable truth unfolds before our eyes, we get confronted and confused into questions of parenting, responsibility, dilemnas, hard choices, relationships, family, love of parents, sacrifices and guild.
At first the grass seems always greener on the other side of the fence until we try it.
At the end, emotions run loose, almost over the edge, joy and anger, hope and disappointments, but the movie still remains very real in its dramatization, with refreshing positivism.
I'm glad I've seen this movie.
