My real-life heroes are Bud and Terence because they always stood up for what was right, didn't tolerate bullies, and always ensured the underdog prevailed. I was reared on their movies.

If only...still crying for all of us who have lost our love! absolutely stunning My entire being hurts.

A nice film that illustrates rather than merely states that the pathways we choose in life can serve as a compass for us to use as we travel through life and to share with others. The journey in this film was one of unwavering acceptance and unadulterated love for a buddy.
I had a great time seeing the film.
