His mother and his father have always put him in the middle of their problems. Carter is an adult child of divorce. On top of his parents issues, his brother just got engaged. When this happens, Carter tries to get his parents to be civil again and tries to get everything in order for his brother's wedding.
Best part of story, including ending:
I really liked this story because their are so many dysfunctional families out there, especially those with adult children of divorce. This story is very realistic.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene was in the beginning of the movie when Carter was a child and was about to blow out his birthday candles. In the background his parents are arguing. This is my favorite scene because it shows the whole background to the whole movie.
Opinion about the main character:
I like Carter's ambition to reunite his family when his brother gets engaged. This is very similar to my ambition with my family.
