OK I'm a big movie buff and buy used movies by the box to watch, this is how I came to find "the war at home". I had high expectations with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez both being in the picture as we'll as I'm a huge Vietnam fan and fan of that time period. I was very disappointed though as I got through the first half of the movie I was bored and irritated, as nothing was happening in the movie, it's just a vet back from Vietnam living at his parents house with his sister, and him being extremely antisocial, he doesn't really go anywhere or do anything he just kind of sits around the house ;(that's pretty much what everyone else does too) being mean to his family and there's not even like flashbacks or anything until later in the movie and there all a total of 3 minutes long. You may like this movie but I didn't it's just very boring and even at the end nothing ever really happens. Its almost like watching someone's real life family and nothing really interesting happens. I was one of the people who LOVED Forest Gump, but this not even close. So in conclusion sorry but if I were you I wouldn't waste my time or money on this.
