First, I want to note that I saw this movie by myself one Saturday afternoon because none of my friends were interested in viewing such a "boring" movie. However, being such a film fanatic, I like to give everything a good chance. So, I journeyed down the sidewalk to the local theater, bought some popcorn, and prepared myself for a nice, "boring" matinee on an extremely cold day in Boston.
My conclusion...I loved it. Admittingly, I'm a pushover for American dramas, and although this movie didn't involve the decorated war hero or the powerful statesman, it definately gives the viewer a warm feeling upon leaving the theater. Centered around Homer's struggle with his father and a determination to design a rocket, the film does justice in proving that the American Dream still exists. Furthermore, solid performances from a young cast and an emotional, thought provoking musical score added to its appeal.
I am looking forward to more films like "October" in the future.
