CGiii Comment

Oh please...dreadful script, acting - everything.

Strangely enough...there is a hint of a good story and there are flashes of laugh-out-loud humour...

It could be a start to a promising career - if, and only if, Wald listens and works hard.

Teenaged Roy and his slutty mother flee from his abusive father. They run into trailer-park owner Maurice, to whom Roy is attracted. As Roy's mother begins to die, Roy may either seek false security in Maurice's arms or become a man and confront his mother's illness.
