Summary: 4 Stars
Yes there was some unnecessary cursing and inappropriate lines, but all in all, Kathy Bates' character is to championed and emulated!
Remake this movie as the family going the other way: Public Assistance, aka WELFARE!
Mrs. lacy then sits around all day in front of the TV watching Maury "Who's Yer Daddy"! Povich and Oprah all day while she gains another 300 pounds. The boys learn early that they can score more money by dropping out of school and running or selling drugs. The boys become gang-bangers and go to prison or are killed in the streets.
The daughters figure this out too, that they can get their own apartment...in the projects, of course, gunfire day and night, cops out every hour, all disputes not settled as adults, but with fist, knife and gun. Yes, I've gone on polie ride-alongs, seen it first hand. People living in squalor like pigs. But of course, it's paid rent,food stamps, free health care and all the other goodies, and more for each illegitmate kid they have. This is great because they'll have more money for the good things in life like I-phones, laptop computers, acrylic nails and tattoos. Then the daughter's daughters will also get on the welfare train and before you know it, there's now 5 generations on the dole! All headed down the same dead-end street.
Mrs Lacy taught her kids the most valuable lesson on earth: self sufficiency and thrift. Along with some good 'ol patience too. If you can't afford something, you have to wait to save the money for it. Why do you think this nation is where it is? Everyone living on "play now, pay later" (if you can!)
Yes this movie was made on a budget, but it has true human values. Something we don't see much of anymore. My only gripe was that Kathy seemed to not be trying to act after she got her Oscar, somewhat the fate of Nicholas Cage.
The movie also has a really happy ending. Always makes me cry.
