watchin' this movie on cable right now.
it's tough watching Bob, it looked like at times he really tried to make things work, but would just end up getting in his own way preventing better things from happening.
Bob had an anger problem. But, he and Ritchie were so young when Ritchie's Dad Steve passed away. Ritchie was only 10 years old and Bob was a few years older. It wasn't like Steve had time to favor his biological son over his stepson. Bob never stole Ritchie's girlfriend, Rosie. That was added to create more drama for the movie. Bob wasn't that much of an a@@hole!
shareyes. esai morales was fantastic..definitely deserved some more recognition.

shareI totally agree. Esai's performance added a unintentional comedic side to the movie.

I watched this last night on cable and I have to agree on his performance. He really deserved at least a nomination, not to mention Rosanna DeSoto and Elizabeth Pena supporting roles!
I really can't believe this movie has such low rating. They also did a pretty good job at recreating the 50's, from wardrobe, cars, musical instruments/equipment. Plus the nostalgic factor, I gave this movie a 9.
Elizabeth Peña passed away on October 14, 2014 at the age of 55. The cause of death listed on her death certificate was cirrhosis of the liver due to alcohol, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiogenic shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest.
Rosanna DeSoto as Connie Valenzuela was outstanding.
