This amazing film stars Paul Giamatti and a understated shot of new blood in the form of Alex Shaffer. Paul Giamatti has been bugging the hell out of me lately--over-acting is balls off for fear he won't get noticed. In this performance he lets the story have the limelight, and just acts like a human being. (And not one you feel you have to pity, or get serious therapy for).
The cast truly acts as as ensemble with the common goal of keeping Alex Shaffer's character, Kyle safe and happy.
The cast, writers and production people succeed on all levels. It was uplifting without being manipulative, and felt very much like what is happening in homes across the country. The definition of "family" has changed, and this motion picture applauds all of those various forms.
Don't be a loser. Rent "Win Win" tonight!!!
