"Inventing the Abbotts"

Another gem that slipped under the radar somehow. This is a feel good movie when you just need that sort of thing. Two brothers, a young Joaquin Phoenix and Billy Crudup, and raised by a single mom in a small town in Illinois in the 1950s. They're in love with three rich sisters, who's father (Will Patton) wants them to have nothing to do with the lads. Everything about this movie is perfect, the sets and costumes, storyline, and the acting. It's simply a delightful, romantic little film.
