This movie brought me to tears and made me laugh in equal doses. A beautiful portrayal of a mother seeking out answers and advocating for her son. I love that this movie shows an intimate look at the family life and doesn't shy away from the joy or the hardships.

My favorite scene is when Evan is reading the book about his father. I really felt like I got to know Evan throughout this film and he seems like a wonderful guy. I hope that everyone will see this movie because I think everyone will be better for seeing it.

Also, I cracked up when it is revealed WHY the film is called You Have No Idea. I'm not going to spoil it, you have to see for yourself.

A bit disjointed at times, but overall it had some really funny moments and was an easy watch. Maybe they tried to fit too much into one movie, but it still worked for me on the whole. I loved the ending and how it didn't tie things up too neatly. I would have maybe liked to have seen more different takes on parenting and having kids, perhaps something to do with child birth on the decline, or the advancements in technology for older women who want to conceive, but they did a nice job of exploring the challenges of endometriosis and the odds of conceiving being lower. It was heartfelt and feel-good - I thought the kid actors were all really strong and I thought the music added a nice tone to the whole film.
