I can’t explain the love of Neil Diamond that my mom bequeathed me, but the love of Neil is a thing, and the movie totally gets it. I thought that Kate Hudson’s accent sounded a little too much like the sherriff Marge in the movie Fargo, but it never took me out of the movie. I cried a lot and I sang along, and I totally “got” the characters that also “got” the love of Neil. There’s just something about these incredibly simple tunes and some of the words/sentiments that just bring you in and make you part of something for a few moments. Sadly, there are fewer and fewer things that make me feel that way.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
