Russ Millings has just been released from prison after serving 21 years for a 3rd strike conviction for possessing an ounce of marijuana. As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize – including trying to learn how to use the internet – he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption.

This was the most boring, pointless movie I've ever watched. There is limited dialogue in the film and the plot can be summarized in a single sentence: An ex-con finds a baby in a dumpster, turns it over to DCFS, then leaves the state to start a new life. The first part of that sentence takes up 2/3 of the movie and consists almost entirely of listening to a baby loudly cry. The second 1/3 takes place on a bus and consists of a woman telling him her name, favorite color, and astrological sign, then asking him the same about him. I don't know what I missed that so many people are calling this movie "heartwarming" but I certainly didn't feel like I got enough of a performance from any of the characters to feel any emotions at all.

A small movie with a big heart. Great performance from Hawke and a promising directorial debut from Green.

Short and sweet also a little warming at times. A simple performance from Ethan Hawke knowing he's been in better roles and being a great actor and all and that's thanks to Robin Williams making his acting career bigger from the film Dead Poets Society.

Ethan Hawk did a great performance, but I thought the writing of his character was pretty flawed. He was in prison for 20 years, and once he gets out, he’s basically trying to start a new life, but the portray is character as a complete retard. But anyways it’s a decent short mellow drama that’s worth watching. Nothing I would ever go back too, but my wife and I enjoyed.
