I watched Unstrung Heroes again with John Turturro and Andie MacDowell. A young boy runs away to stay with his odd uncles, unable to face his father's grief and watch his mother die of a brain tumor. Father is an inventor and scientist. Mom is the understanding and loving wife and mother. Dad's brothers live together. One is intellectually challenged and the other suffers from paranoia. I watch this movie when I need some mush and I like the odd characters. Mom explains to the boy that he must love his dad, because, "it's hard being from another planet". Turturro is soo good playing off the wall uptight characters. Directed by Dianne Keaton.
