A Home At The End Of The World (7/10)

The characters do seem to live on another plane, or just the end of this one. As a child Bobby (later played fantastically by a shocking different Colin Farrell) learns life lessons from his brother, the king of cool. His brother dies young and Bobby tries to follow in his footsteps. He befriends Jonathan (Dallas Roberts) in high school and the two share an "intimate" bond. Bobby's parents both pass away as well and Jonathan's family adopts him, it's because he's just so cool. Nice, lovable, pleasant , kind, cool and so much more make up the character of Bobby. He's straight but not strictly, he want's others to be happy, he'll do "anything".  Bobby doesn't seem to have a bad bone in his body, but he hurts people. It's because he helps so much that others will be turned off by it. Bobby will move to New York and live with Jonathan (now openly gay) and his eccentric roommate Clare (the fun Robin Wright). The story will continue to follow the three lives as they try to make themselves a home and even have a child. The characters are great but there's no real plot and conflict. It's plausible the film is just about everyday life with three different people. It's nice but it's not engaging. If you didn't like the characters I'm afraid you may hate the movie, because it's all about them. The characters love each other but all in different ways. Bobby sees everyone the same, he just wants to help them the best he can. Clare loves Bobby physically and Jonathan emotionally (it's realistic to think she loves Bobby a bit more). Jonathan looks at Clare as a sister but Bobby as something more. Jonathan want's to be in Bobby's life but at times want's only his love (yes that does mean he really loves his adopted brother). "A Home At The End Of The World" is easy to find a home in your heart.

7/10
Recommendation: It's for more open minded people, but it's easy to like. As I said earlier you need to like the characters to like the movie.
