Grief
Don't watch Hallmark's "The Russell Girl" unless you're in the mood for a serious tearjerker. Seriously. I don't know when I've seen a movie that was as much of an emotional roller coaster as this.
On the other hand, like the movie We Are Marshall
, which came out in 2006 (not too long after Tommy's death), "The Russell Girl" is an awfully good look at the kinds of things that grief does to people, and the turmoil it causes in their relationships with...well, with everyone.But don't say you weren't warned.

Yeah, it was a tearjerker. But it wasn't bad so far as movies go. My big shock was seeing Jennifer Ehle with blonde hair and an American accent. :-0 (I'm a big fan of Pride and Prejudice.) :-)
So, uh, you didn't actually tell us whether you liked the movie or not...
Oh yes, I liked it, and would watch it again...but not any time soon. The subject of the lost potential of someone who dies young, and how it affects everyone, hits close to home because of the boy in our youth group who died a year and a half ago.
