mickeymAnd oh, God, what a gorgeous movie. Absolutely gorgeous. I think I like Shaun better with shorter hair, but whatever.
What kind of mother dates a man who clearly doesn't even like her kid, and then *leaves* her kid with her brother -- going away for "six months, maybe a year" -- and then has the balls to get all upset that her brother is dating another guy? I really, *really* didn't like Jeanne. At all.
Shaun, on the other hand, I loved. And Gabe. And Tori. And Zach? I kind of want to just snuggle him and feed him soup. Or something. I'm still all kinds of weepy over the movie, too. So much emotion, in it. I love that it wasn't about sex, or promiscuity, or whatever. Just falling in love, and trying to figure out life and the universe and your place in it.
I really hope Jeanne doesn't come back for Cody. What a sweet boy -- and he's clearly very happy with his Uncle Zack, and Shaun. The ending, happy as it was, made me cry even more...probably because it's happy. I maintain that I don't care how much hurt happens in between, so long as the comfort equals it, and the ending is happy.
Really awesome movie. If you haven't seen it, you should. If anyone needs it, let me know :)

She definitely did the best thing for her son letting Shaun and Zach have the raising up of him, in the end.
Shaun's hair was def better short.
