There's no need to wonder how this documentary was made into a movie. It beautifully shows the complexity of family and the unconventional ties that bind us over many years. I have so much appreciation for the couple for allowing an honest depiction of a family -- not a Hallmark special, but the truth of broken dreams, addiction, regrets, reunification and survival.
This film was a great documentary piece. The filming was great, well thought out perspectives. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes documentaries and has a great appreciation for films. I watch one documentary every week, this was up there in the entertaining/"I will watch this again" category. I can relate a lot to this movie, and I see a lot of characteristics of my parents that I recognize in Frank & Cindy.
For people who have little patience, this movie is not for them. My sister tried to watch it and it didn't keep her attention long. But then again, my sister doesn't really appreciate artistic things in general. So don't let boring/unoriginal people watch this film.

it is raw, and illustrates situations in life just as they are, including all of the ups and downs that accompany them. it gives insight into the not-so-glamorous side of fame that not many get to see.
taking a snapshot into the lives of frank and cindy for one year of their lives, the film shows the aftermath of frank's '15 minutes of fame' and their lives subsequent to the passing of that fame. you grow to care for the characters, not just because of the story, but because you know that these are actual people, with actual problems, just like you and i. i think that connection is what sets this film apart from anything i've seen in a while.

It seems to me that the two parents never matured mentally and since they probably came from dysfunctional families their marriage resulted in the creation of yet another dysfunctional family. That they contradict themselves over and over again; sometimes in the same sentence; leads me to question their mental health in general.
Oddball documentary about Frank Garcia, a 1980's one-hit wonder, his wife Cindy Brown, and their dysfunctional lives. Frank is an alcoholic layabout who can't let go of his glory days, spending his days and nights in his basement making music and drinking. Cindy spends her days complaining about her teeth and doing nothing about them, and also working to financially support Frank and his music dreams. The commonality between the two seems to be that neither of them are happy and both have big dreams, but neither seems interested in actually taking any steps out of their rut to change anything. They're both just all talk. Adding to the strangeness of this documentary, it was directed by their adult son who also lives at home. In many ways, this film reminded me of the documentary "American Movie" where it was also hard to discern at first whether the filmmakers were mocking the subjects or were trying to genuinely tell their story. "American Movie" was certainly not making fun of it's subjects, and I don't think this film was either, although there are certainly a lot of moments shown that are hilariously at the expense of Frank and Cindy. Like the best documentaries, this film does have a subtext about the pursuit of Sisyphean dreams and knowing when to let go of them, but I'm thinking this film was more just a colorful slice of life. Still, it's a pretty entertaining slice of life that more than kept my interest.
