Favorite Son

I personally enjoyed the down home quality of the film. I think that for such a low budget and relatively unknown actors, this film really shined. I was pleasantly surprised after watching the film, especially with the negative comments from people here. The Prodigal son aspect really appealed to me and I thought that they did not overplay the situation, but instead it came off as a nice sub-plot. The relationship between the siblings was nicely played. The acting was enjoyable, and it was fun to see Louis Herthum of Murder She Wrote Fame acting in this film. Overall a good movie worth renting.

I was an extra in this little film. Its not too bad. All the actors were class acts all the way. The movie has some problems though, one being it never really grabs your attention and dates itself with its jokes. Its nice though. Look for me, I check out Gathering Marsh's ass as she walks by.

This was a lovely little film. I really related to the story. It reminded me of my family growing up in the South. The people were so real.

the actors did a great job, especially the wife. She was terrific, totally stuck in the middle of two men she really loved. All I can say is this is a sweet film, well made and well acted.

It's a treasure.

The relationship between Lance (Brad Hunt) and Lucas (Louis Herthum) reminded me of the dynamics in my own family. Hunt is amazing as he portrays the heroine addicted younger brother of Herthum. The conflict between the brothers is very real and in the end heartwarming and moving. I think this is a movie for the whole family to see. This is a prodigal son story well told! If you can't find it at your local Blockbuster ask them to get it. If more youth groups, boys and girls clubs or families sat down to watch this one together they might find a way to help kids on drugs and create a better understand of one another. This is one worth watching.

Wow! I just saw this at a friend's house and I loved it. It's not the kind of film you see at the theaters, unfortunately. It is small, touching, and filled with actors I've never seen before. It is really special. I have a brother in trouble and this hit home for me. I don't know where he is but I hope this film finds him someday.
