Beautiful Kid (2003)
The film has alot of heart which is unfortunately absent from most films today with much bigger budgets
When the film began I was unsure about it's quality. It was really raw. But slowly, the story began to sink in and I began to get drawn into the world of Sean, Rock and Bridget as their lives began to slowly spiral downwards. These 3 friends grew up in the Irish pubs of the Bronx and because of their friendship they really rely on each other but they are beginning to use each other as a crutch. When Sean meets his old flame, Fiona, who is doing great in SF, he begins to realize that it's time to straighten up his act if he wants to get with her.
As he begins to try to clean up, his friends try to keep him by their side, because without each other, they are lost. The film is really about whether or not he can break away from his longtime friends and whether it's the right move to leave his friends and go with Fiona. The movie grabs you by the throat as it careens to the end. Hold on and let go.
