I was really impressed watching this film. I like to watch a film that has true feeling of people and this did. Chris was a real person that everyone could relate too, especially when he took us to the room in his childhood home where he heard his parents say they were going to get a divorce. I like also all the things a guy thinks, they are so dang insecure with girls, and this proves it. He is every girls perfect dream and he can't see it himself, all he looks at are his flaws. Why is that? I'm glad that he has made it a goal for life to exercise so he can keep his body the way it is. And what wonderful parents. His mother really looks for the good in a situation and if more women were like her there would be less divorce. She really found the solution to the problem and helped him. Thanks for sharing your movie.
