This was a completely decent movie and I would give the classic "Yea - it was pretty good" to anyone who asked. I'm a big fan of John Hawkes - and his performance, along with Helen Hunt's and William H. Macy's, are definitely what carry this film.

You've never seen this in a movie before. This film scores with wonderful characters that you invest in immediately and a beautiful story that's surprisingly accessible. It loses with a lack of patience that fails to yield any (truly) memorable scenes. A for originality though.

Good acting, especially by John Hawkes, but I prefer him as a bad guy delivering great lines like "I already told you once with my mouth." Spoiler Alert: Helen Hunt does get fully naked often, but she is 50. Somewhat interesting and also a bit weird. Never fully got into it.
