Steven Weber, Excellent.

Very good little film about a war vet and his beloved dog, Duke.
Steven Weber is one of Hollywood's most underrated actors, IMHO, and he
makes the whole movie worth watching. He embodies the physical and emotional
trauma a war vet from Afghanistan would have very well. I have never seen him
in a role like this, and I was impressed, again, by his talent.

Great little film. Could watch it with the whole family.

Steven Weber, you are so good in this!
You crack me up on Web Therapy, too. Funny and Good, you are!

I totally agree with you Emma. I just finished watching this for the second time today, and I absolutely loved this movie, and Steven Weber's performance. I have been a fan of his since his days on Wings, and it was a treat to see him in a role like this. I cried when he was reunited with Duke, his performance was so moving.

Love you Steven Weber, in anything & everything!

Wonder is the seed of knowledge.

I just finished watching this movie and...wow. Steven Weber really impressed me. I am a 34 year-old man and I'm not ashamed to admit, I was moved to tears several times during this picture, especially during Weber's emotional confession to the reverend at the church. I watched him years ago on the show Wings and I knew he was a gifted comic actor, but I had no idea he could give a dramatic performance with such depth.

Just seen this on Sky HD and quite enjoyed Duke would give it a 7 out of 10 I think.

have seen him in a groundhog day type movie and now this....have to say i'm really impressed with his quality of acting.

Most of us tend to remember him as the goofy brother on "Wings", but his dramatic acting here was terrific. He really got into the heart of a troubled veteran. A very nuanced and powerful performance.
