A sun-and-sorrow-drenched story of love, loss and "free range" fatherhood starring Clive Owen, based loosely on British political reporter Simon Carr's difficult yet droll memoir recounting his attempts to rebuild his family after the death of his wife. The film, in the good hands of director Scott Hicks, is a bit like the parenting it portrays - at times there is pain, mistakes will be made - but if you can get beyond that, there is pleasure to be found.

After the untimely passing of his second wife, Joe (Clive Owen) must not only deal with his own grief, but try to find a way to raise his two sons alone. With Joe in unfamiliar territory and the boys Artie and Harry trying to cope with their own personal baggage, the three decide to throw convention to the wind and live by the words "just say yes.'' But when things go wrong, Joe must find a way to behave more like a parent without losing the joy of a more childlike lifestyle.
