Well, I feel that way in the movie, too. I appreciate it for what it is, I loved it last time I saw it on the big screen. I've got the DVD and have never watched it.

Stayed home today. Feelin' ill.
I watched Parenthood today. Gosh, it's such a well written movie. Lots of characters and they were pretty well fleshed out.
I think it's my favorite Ron Howard film.
