when you were a kid , you knew a kid just like Michael who had a dad just like Charles. They are like fine tuned instruments,playing off of one another as a son and father,with that love hate relationship. Ryan Reynolds as Michael, Willem Dafoe as Charles, who most of the time I wanted to strangle for his love of self,and not his son,wife or anyone else in his life. Ryan Reynolds looks amazing with the beard and the glasses and the brown eyes that actually look tortured. You buy into this family,because as I wrote first,you knew (or might now know) one like this. There is some language that I wish hadn't been added,but they haven't learned what works like the KENDRICK BROTHERS have. Julia Roberts really is pregnant in this movie. She always has that tired look in her films,and as a woman you know she has to be pregnant in real life. Indeed in this she is and it is perfect for the scene she uses with Michael. I honestly think that this movie heals men who had dads like Michael does in this movie. Where daughters can cry,sons are not usually allowed to. I would recommend this movie because it doesn't hurt for anyone no matter our walks in life,to have a look at someone elses,even if it hurts. And the fireflies in the garden is an absolutely great touch.

Fireflies in the Garden is a movie one will love more if you have been in a similar situation before. I've read many reviews saying that the movie just brings together a lot of cliches about family dramas and that there's nothing more to it. I, for one think that the movie is very realistic and a little different too. The script touches your heart. Superb acting by Ryan Reynolds and Julia Roberts but the best performance in the movie was Willem Dafoe's performance. He plays the cold and mean father to the T. I saw the movie in 2008. I have to say that the '08 version was better. There are some very critical cuts made to the US version. The edited scenes make the movie more beautiful.
The movie is no masterpiece but if you wanna watch a emotional family drama, I really suggest you watch this one.

Liked it a lot

I just finished watching this movie. I liked it a lot. I was disappointed that Julia Roberts didn't have more time, as I think they should have more of her story line in the movie, but otherwise, I thought it was a good movie.
If you grew up in a totally normal, functional family, you probably will not connect with this movie and think it IS a horrible movie. If so, consider yourselves blessed then and watch a different movie. I had dysfunction in mine, so I could identify with all the characters and their feelings (and cried a few tears in places). I personally liked the ending. There is only so many ways you can end a movie like this, and I thought the ending said it all. All in all, well worth the rental fee!

The Soundtrack was Removed and replaced with terrible music.

I love this movie. The picture and design and the plot. But above all I love the soundtrack. And when I purchased it on Amazon prime video the soundtrack was replaced with a vile made for tv soundtrack and I got so furious I wanted to slam my head into the floor. Why would you remove the soundtrack that was designed for that movie!?
