If you haven't, it's worth seeing. The movie is about Homer Wells . Homer had grim start in life. His mother abandoned him, and the staff and children at St. Clouds orphanage became his family and home. With high hopes and great expectations, they long for loving parents to appear, adopt them, and take them home.
Homer catches a break.
He is adopted. Homer is adopted a second time. In this home, however, he cries too much. . . . He cries because his new parents beat him. Well, it would be unfair for me to say much more for now . . . .
