Wasn’t expecting this tear jerker, but wow. So. Many. Tears. Also doesn’t hurt that Hayden Christensen and Kevin Kline were both so hot.

I remember the Father and Son story being a powerful part of the movie and I always thought the house was super cool.

It’s a by the book drama, but it’s also a good one! Nothing special, but if you are in that mood, a pretty solid choice!
