You Can Count on Me

I scour the internet looking for quality indie dramas.  One movie review site offered up this film as a comparable to a movie that i adore - The Skeleton Twins.  That's all I needed to give it a go. Things started off ok - it was interesting to see a young Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney.  Seeing Rory Culkin in the movie took a little bit to get used to as he looks and sounds so much like his brother in Home Alone.  The background music was a little off-putting - it reminded me of the cheesy music that filled the background in The Rainmaker. Then something subtle and wonderful happened:  the story really took off.  When I say subtle, I mean subtle.  What felt like a cookie-cutter plot was anything but.  Towards the end something occurred to me:  this movie is sneaky-good. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or IHateBadMovies on facebook

One of my favorite movies of all time! Exceptional acting especially by Mark Ruffalo who to this point was unknown to me.
