No Place Like Home

I found this movie on Amazon Prime Video and saw Jeff Daniels was in it. I thought I'd give it a chance. It's called Homeless on Amazon Prime Video. As someone who was homeless twice as a child and on public assistance (welfare) my entire childhood, this movie is very realistic and heartbreaking. Most people are a pay check away from homelessness. It can happen to anyone! You don't need an addiction or bad habits. Give spare change to those holding signs and donate to charities and organizations who help the homeless.

I saw most of this TV movie late one night, didn't even know the title till just now. This film always seems to come back to me now and then and it'll movie will make you think twice the next time you step over a homeless person or walk fast past them on the street.

The harrowing story of how it can happen to a "normal" family - much like the one you might live next door to. Step by step, event by event you can see how the homeless you hear about in statistics in the news actually come to be. I really felt the growing panic in the characters, especially the father (Jeff Daniels) who is desparately trying to gather resources to keep his faily housed and fed. Really a sad but important movie to see. I'm glad it got made and could provoke thought in at least this viewer.

Everyone should see this. Every person that judges the homeless should watch this and see how easy it can be to go from living a normal life, to living on the streets.

I remember seeing this with my mom when I was little and we would sit and watch Sunday and Tuesday night made-for-TV movies. A fond memory of my childhood. This one has always stuck with me because a few years later, we would end up homeless. Also, because it was a special time with my mom as a child who passed away. I have always thought about this movie and glad I was able to find it on Paramount. A sober reality for many.

The acting was very good! As in my highlight sentence, I think that everyone should see this move because sometimes when everything is going right in our lives we would just never, ever think that anything like this could happen!

The actors playing the parents here are well seasoned and have done some great stuff in the past and once again show off their wonderful skills!

See this movie!
