I almost gave up on this movie because it felt like such a downer. I am really glad that I stuck it out. I really do love Matthew Broderick, I think he is super talented, and I wish I could see him do more things like this. He plays Ben Singer, a former childrens musician who has a really sad outlook on pretty much everything. He is divorced and has a daughter who is struggling with some things, and he lives with a roommate who has a health emergency. When his roommate's sister Khadi comes to stay while her brother is in a coma...his life is turned upside down. I ended up really liking this movie. I thought Matthew Broderick was subtle but awesome and the little girl who played his daughter, gave a realistic and touching performance. I didn't think this was predictable, though I thought it might be...it had some little surprises. Great performances, a nice script. Worth watching.
