Gambling, Down Syndrome and above all Love
by FrancoisM (movies profile) Jan 9, 2009
All of us, during our life time have some kind of relation with one (or more) of the above topics...
Yonkers Joe is all about the love between a father, his kid, his lady friend (acting step Mom) and their struggle for life. It also has to do with addictions, dealing with special kids, parent/children realtionships. Discovering the intricacies of casinos 9not a new topic, but well detailed) was for me so interesting. The story was moving, and even big men get to sob once in a good picture!
The chareacters are simple, and real.
I had a great time, and will not disclose anything about the ending.... Have fun!
