Scelta di vita

It's the story of three brothers pulling together in the midst of hardship and loss, and learning that the really important things in life are family, love, trust, and forgiveness. The entire cast manages to pull in a powerful performance despite a few lousy one-liners. A great film for fans of true to life problems befalling believable families. Also worth a look for fans of Dermot Mulroney or Sean Astin. They both do an astounding job, often bringing you to tears. Take my word for it and rent this today!

A wonderful look into the lives of three brothers that are making that giant step into becoming people. Growing up in a small town U.S.A., the McDermott brothers find themselves and their family changed with the selling of the family business and the death of their father. One searches from a place in society with success, as the other searches for love and achievement. Sean Astin leads this wonderful cast of original and very true characters as the more troubled and comical of the three brothers. The overall moral of this story is hope. My final comment, its a nice film for the right audience.

I had the unknown honor of talking with Troma's Llyod Kaufman a few years back when he visited Providence for their film festival. Talking about movies, Llyod made the comment that "a girl always gets naked in a Coming of Age film." In this case, Llyod was correct. Along with the story lines of redemption, meaning, and brotherhood, Daphne Zuniga appears naked as well. A wonder look into the lives of three brothers and their transformation into adulthood in the center of small town, USA. Great character development and a wonderful story. All in all, a good movie

Staying Together is cliched at times but ultimately it's an honest script with honest relationships and pretty good acting all around by the three leads.

A film that always kind of touches the heart a little and makes you smile, definitely worth the watch for the endearment.

Also Daphne Zuniga is worth watching on this one too.

Three brothers from a small town somewhere in South Carolina learn that their father sold the chicken business, because he hated eggs. Then their older brother moves out and he needed the job. Their middle brother got a job at a clothing store.

The McDermott family spilts apart after their father sold the businness, and then reunite together after their father's death.

A little bit good, and A little bit poor.

***1/2.
