Heatwarming and Heartbreaking...

Reviewed by Kenneth A. Nelson, 2010-01-31

Three stories of three sets of Fathers and Sons all growing older together (at their own houses). The cycle-of-life as it effects the various families all neighbors on one street.

Eventually as expected, the child becomes the parent, the parent dies and the sons take their place in the world as the parent (except for one son).

Some moments are fast, some slow, some joyous and some unhappy. We live, we die.

The story might not have discovered new ground, but the acting was marvelous and they had me laughing and crying. If you dislike sentimental films, you might have a little disappointment waiting for you.

The first story was pretty good. The 2nd one i thought was boring. I loved the 3rd one, i thought they could have made a movie out of that one by its self.

heartbreaking experience

Rarely saw a sad story so beautifully told - and it's three of them. A must for everyone to watch - not only for fathers and sons, it's for daughters and mothers too!

Powerful masterpiece

Reviewed by dkmcd, 2006-07-14

Another Showtime masterpiece. Powerful, thought-provoking look into the relationships between fathers and sons. Three individual vignettes show three different sides to the issue and are loosely tied together by the fact all three families live on the same block. Ron Eldard's mesmerizing performance has to be seen to be believed. Far more talented actors would never have been able to give as magnificient a performance.
