Daddy and Them

We watched the made for cable movie Daddy and Them recently. It was an interesting character study of a very dysfunctional southern family.

I thought it did a good job of first tricking me into embracing a stereotypical view of “white trash” and then moving around to where I could see the inherent commonality of everyone as they struggle to overcome the obstacles in their lives. Billy Bob Thornton does a great job as both writer and actor in the movie.

I guess it just shows how shallow I can be that I got more enjoyment out of the funny part of the story. On my scale of 1-100, I rate it a 76.
