Hi, I got the movie (see previous posts above), and tho, in a way i could see it as funny, maybe i watched it at the wrong time, because it was sad to me. Maybe it hit too close to 'home' being set partly in Minnesota...or maybe sad is not the right word, more, ok that is the way it is done, at the end...You decide for yourself. AND TELL everyone else. THEN DO WHAT YOU DECIDED. And, sometimes, your friends are more important than family.

yes, it is a little depressing. especially, what was with the Laura Gianocomo (sp?) character's encounter with her father? that was too extreme.
in college, in my days :), there was a Huge movement to make your friends your family. Group therapy pushed this (one reason I stopped) and the surroundings just supported it. The term "dysfunctional" was thrown around like a pie.
as you get older, you realize how important your family is, how friends come and go. but i suppose if family life had been as difficult as it was for Stuart, you might seek "family" elsewhere.
I consider my best friends, part of an extended family. But this probably also comes from having a few very good friends, not many aquaintances.
This is the end of the thread.
