My Thought
The movie was quite confusing from the beginning as I tried to grasp the title of the movie and the plot. At first, I thought the movie was about their father's love for Blaine and so I came to a conclusion that their father loved Blaine than Camden but in the end, I realized that the father loved both sons but respected Camden more for being a better man.
Those are my thought anyways because the title of the movie kinda does not look anything like the roles the character played even though I wouldn't know what best name to give the movie but it's kinda confusing.
The movie is good and for families, and the characters all played their roles perfectly well.
