    (Billed comedy, but it's also poignant & with true meaning & value about one's self, shaping one's life.)
    Danny Devito, Gregory Hines & ensemble cast...

    Pardon? Father-song? Even if that's a typo, I didn't refer to father-son specifically, but it surely would resonate for each. Both the Danny & Gregory characters' are male role models for disenfranchised youths. It's not a one-note film, but rather well-rounded.

    yes it was a typo, I just didn't remember that story, but you're right it did contain it

    A Better Life is a great film. It is from 2011 and is worth seeking out.

    The cut scenes between Michael and Vito in the first movie really enhance the story. But Vito's relationship with Sonny is also quite moving because of Brando's understatement.
