An unique documentary about what family is all about, shown through the ups and downs(mostly downs)of Frank & Cindy. The filmmaker is brave enough to expose his mother and stepfather in a way that would make most of us shake with fear and embarrassment. It reveals those private moments of regret, disgust, anger and love that you would only see living in the same house with this family- or really any family. The film pulls you into this family and you sympathize with their day to day dysfunction. I feel compassion towards Cindy in the same way I do towards my own mother. If you can't identify with this film at least on some small level, you must have a perfectly normal family life or you're in serious denial.
