Description

Three soldiers -- Colee (McAdams), T.K. (Pena) and Cheaver (Robbins) -- return from the Iraq War, after suffering injuries, and learn that life has moved on without them. They end up on an unexpected road trip across the U.S., with Colee on a mission to bring her boyfriend's guitar back to his family because he saved her life, T.K. seeking confidence to face his wife after a shrapnel injury threatens his sexual function, and middle-aged Cheaver planning to hit the casinos in a desperate effort to pay for his son's college tuition.

    Tim Robbins’ character was in the Army Reserve and at the end of the movie he is wearing the patch of the 89th SUstainment Brigade. They have a battalion in St.Louis; the 620th CSSB.

    It is very entertaining and gives us a slice of the lives of these great warrior volunteers that defend our country. Great writers , producers, and directors as well, they did the homework. It is a great story and very well portrayed by these talented headliners Rachael, Tim, And Michael. It invokes all emotions, funny, however a little sad and humanistic. Unknowingly to most, military service is never without personal cost. So when you encounter a returning soldier or former soldier, please thank them for their service. Please be kinder than necessary, everyone has their own story, they all have known sacrifice.

    When I saw the preview of this movie I thought the idea of it was great and it looked really good so my husband and I decided to watch it and I was a little disappointed... Up until the last 20 minutes of it my husband and I were like where is this going and it was so hard to sit through because it didn't seem to pick up at all, it was just very boring...

    this movie was amazing rachael mcadams did a fantastic job. she is a great actress and is always different in every role she plays. when this movie was over it left me with a great feeling of full fill ment. although the only thing that could have been better was the ending. but the movie itself was so great i was able to look passed that. this movie is worth buying although i only rented it. its worth it trust me :)
