As a father of a 9-month old perfect baby girl whose wife left him because of pretty much the same circumstances that Duane experienced (save for the DUI and the forced baseball bat incident), my question is why did he not fight his ex-wife's decision to relocate his daughters to another state for a guy who can barely make it at managing a gym? "We'll arrange visitation in a couple of months."!! No way.
Any real Dad who loves his babies would never smile, ride on a bike and in a funny costume next to a car carrying away his life, then attend a Thanksgiving meal and make a toast.
The movie, however, was a decent showing of how addiction destroys families. That part was accurate. Redemption was ignored.
Guess I was just disappointed because I wanted very badly for Duane to accept treatment, turn his ass around, and pursue this "second chance" that the trailer promised. Where was that second chance that was promised? Never came.
