Just a delight!!!!!! A well produced movie with one of the most logical and sensible storylines for movies in this genre. I went into this with the expectation of a subpar experience, get a few laughs and wrap up. This blew all expectations away, it starts out slow giving us details and development into the main characters lives before they meet and intertwine, the depth of story, the exploration of what family can mean sometimes, the sacrifices (if you'd call them that) that one makes for family and why someone else cannot see themselves fitting into such a system. It's crazy because in our own lives, these issues are there, these issues persist, a lot of people would have smiled and still gone into it, and later down the line explode and say it wasn't what they signed up for. This goes a step beyond that showing us what can happen if someone decides, "I'm not a right fit, I have to go" The aftermath of that decision, the subsequent exchange of truth and the final decision, even up to showing a future timeline of the final decision. This movie gave me chills, made my heart ache, made me laugh, made me sad, and made me really happy with the ending. The production was spot on, cinematography was great, actors were awesome, the sound was sublime, the story blended well and it was great! It lacks the usual family "hate" drama we've come to expect from these types of movies and that's not a bad thing by any measure. Though I'll admit the kneeling scene was a bit too dramatic for me, way too dramatic and pointless but I see the necessity of what they did, they had at least five ways they could've spun it but still, in the end it was good. If there was a scale of 10 to recommend this, it'll be a hearty 11. Enjoy this, Cheers.

Only the last 20 minutes were good which made the movie worth watching. PS: I want a family like that.
