Title: Writer in need of serious professional help
Review: Okay - so you have this great premise of making a movie where people do good deeds. And its billed as this great movie where people help each other and "pay it forward" (as opposed to pay it back) by helping someone else. The movie is really not about this fantastic concept. Instead, what it turns out to be is a docu-drama about how everyone in the world (or at least, everyone in this movie) is either a drunk, the abused victim of a drunk, or both. You see torture, neglect, denial, and everything else that you thought this movie wasn't. The pay-it-forward aspect is a sub-plot, and is really lost amongst all the depressing "life" going on. A complete WOMBAT (Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time).
