User Review

Loving portrait of the effects of drug abuse on a family.

Rating: 8/10


Really the tale of two cocky brothers and their respective falls from
grace (via drug addiction) and later redemption. One brother, a
self-proclaimed genius played by James Franco is your typical sensitive
but intelligent man-child. The other brother is a hard-working future
doctor who becomes less judgmental as he himself falls prey to
addiction while dealing with the stress of living up to his family's
expectations for both children. Not too heavy handed as drug fables are
want to be, and all in all a pretty realistic sketch of the family
dynamics that drug problems bring about. I'd recommend it to anyone
interested in such character studies and commend James Franco for his
efforts in what was obviously a labor of love.
