Drama-comedy because behind the antics of the main character there is a human story.
Filmmaker May Forbes (haven't seen any of her films yet) manages to keep the film out of the cliché zone and doesn't make it too long, which are certainly plus points, because one quickly finds oneself in repetitive situations where one has to forget it even after a while. watched and unbelievability creeps in.
Now, I don't think anything of that, but towards the end, acceptable emotion.
Beautiful outdoor photography and a striking performance by the young Imogene Wolodarsky as the eldest daughter.
And Mark Ruffalo? Good, I thought, as a bipolar, crazy person or whatever you call it.

Maggie [Zoe Saldana] and Cam Stuart [Mark Ruffalo] adore each other and their children Amelia [Imogene Wolodarsky] and Faith [Ashley Aufderheide], but Cam is bipolar and his erratic behavior and lack of money make it impossible to to give children a stable life. After much deliberation, Maggie decides to take a job that requires her to relocate. Although this means that she can only see her children at the weekend and that Cam has to take care of the daily care, but if everything goes well, Amelia and Faith will soon be able to go to a boarding school where they can take the first steps towards an independent life. . Excellent portrait of a family with a father who can be insufferable, but also loving and caring and children who regularly have to treat their father like a child. Forbes' excellent screenplay feels authentic and deals with a sensitive subject without melodrama but with humor and, above all, an enormous dose of humanity. Shows how frustrating, but also how wonderful it can be to have a bipolar parent. Rarely has his subject, which is heavy on paper, been developed in such an honest and entertaining way.

Meh, I don't really know.
Ruffalo plays someone who is more annoying than anything else, and it doesn't really get bad enough to immediately make a drama film about it. And it's not really fun anywhere either. Irritating indeed - and that was exactly what I was worried about before the film started. After all, Ruffalo is often typecast as an annoying person. I thought I'd give it a chance, and Zoe Saldana is also participating. Unfortunately in a small role.
It would perhaps be better if we all became a little more tolerant. Don't make films about these kinds of people, but help them a little every now and then. And maybe also accept that not everyone is the same.
