The film centers around a court battle for custody between a rich white alcoholic grandfather and a black crack-head father. Kevin Kostner play a poorly scripted drunk who loves his granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell) and wants the best for her. When his wife dies, he must care for her himself.
For some reason they decide to give us the background information late. His daughter was the mother who died in child birth while dad did time in prison. Octavia Spencer plays the paternal grandmother who feels she is also entitled to custody having a large family on the South Side. The film is humorous, heartwarming, and gritty as it takes a more realistic view on race and the race card which climaxes near the end as Costner takes the stand.
Guide: 1 MF bomb. N-word. No sex or nudity.
