The premise and story concept was great
The acting was good
But the ending left a lot to be desired.
We are supposed to believe that Benny's Mother goers from hateful, angry, grieving, to totally accepting and hostess of the year... well at least to Christopher.
But the last contact with his mother not so much. we are left wondering if there was some reconciliation there or not, and if there was why was she not invited to dinner as well.
Another 5 or 10 minutes of movie could have resolved some of those questions and made it a more satisfying movie. For me the ending spoiled the rest of the movie for me.
Otherwise it was great
