Not one for “date night” but a clear profile given to food abuse post trauma.. we see drug and alcohol abuse often on screen, food abuse not so much. Again great supporting actor performances..
Mr Mohamed
This movie was cool, even tho Brendon fras played so well that he won an Oscar

Charlie's death wish cloaks a pie-eyed optimist who insists his daughter is wonderful despite her lashing cruelties. It's the kind of character that stays with you long after the movie has ended.
