Trivia
The song that Austin sings when Vince comes to visit him (titled 'Daughter') was in fact written by director and co-writer Eddie Sternberg for his daughter.

Goofs
At 00:20:11 into the film, when Vince is watching an old movie when he was a child, in the lower right corner it says 15:12pm. This could not be possible. It would be 3:12pm or simply 15:12.

Surprisingly decent

Went into this because I wanted to have something in the background while working from home, but got invested in the story more than I anticipated.

Even if the overarching storyline is a little by the book and quite predictable the details and especially backstory of some characters make it work well.

The acting was at least decent and strong at times in my opinion. The music works quite well and adds to the general vibe rather than take away from it.

If you are looking for a "feel-good-movie" about second (& first) chances, look no further.

Would even give a 7,5 if possible.
