I hope homeless people in other countries who are really poor do not see this movie. The homelessness of the people in this movie seemed like a conscious choice to me. Most had homes once, then did some bad choices, and went homeless. Then, even though they did nothing to improve their situation, they were given pretty nice homes at the end. It seems nice to be a homeless in a country with a good welfare system! The movie has its funny moments as well as sad ones. I found it more enjoyable than sad.
