Jean,
I went to see this movie as from the previews it looked like an
entertaining comedy. That was not what I saw. This is a almost clinical
study of 3 addicts. They are three men, two are sex addicts and one is
an alcoholic. We go through all the 12 steps program including the
dairies, tokens and meetings. It makes one think about how the addict's
behavior affects their close friends and family. Then you really cringe
when you see the relapse coming on and that surely happens.They do not
sugar-coat the impact of addiction. I think I am more patience now about
people with addictions than before. At the end they even bring before
the camera a number of addicts who talk about their trials and struggles
to just cope with everyday matters. If coping with addiction is your
interest, this is your movie. Dad
