This was one of my favorite films of the year - because it showed wonderful heart and camaraderie - and the cast bring to life superbly the numbing poverty and never say die spirit that the 30s needed quite beautifully.
We were just swept along by this small story - Homer comes "off the line" having done two years for petty larceny and through a group of misfit friends discovers life again.
With immense charm, and a good dose of realism this is a film that avoids violence, and bad language and rather tries to connect to values - it is a pleasure to watch and as I said in my title what really shines is that this is made with care.
A very satisfying watch, not too schmaltzy at all, but just story-telling well told....
If you get a chance to watch it, do!
