We've all seen this pattern of a shitty parent becoming ill, and now they are trying to redeem themselves, again and again. Well, in this case, Ben is still an asshole. I really enjoyed the dynamics between Matt and Ben, and I could see the hints of change in their relationship sprinkled here and there, but I feel the change was still a bit sudden and not as believable as it could have been.
The acting was seriously amazing! I've only seen a few Jason Sudeikis' movies (only comedies), but he made me root for the character throughout the movie. There was also a scene where he made me cry with just a small change of a facial expression.
Maybe I'm generous with my rating, but it could be the fault of not seeing many movies this year (especially dramas) that I could put that past me and immensely enjoy the story.
