I enjoyed it, but found it more depressing than the movie probably intended. And I wish movies had been made about the cross-dressing soccer girl and about Ingemar’s brother, too. It’s sweet, and well worth …

Nothing you haven’t seen before, plot-wise, but it has a lot of that patented Leary/Rescue Me riffing about nothing much that I always enjoy. It can be painful at times to watch Leary try to …
