God, did this movie really have an effect on me, not cause I'm an alcoholic, merely a viewer. Inner truths, guilt, suffering, cussing, mostly by an awesomely acted Lewis, fears are expelled, and dramatically, as we get in the lives of a group of AA members, and what a show. This film really lets out the truth of an everyday alcoholic, though mainly Lewis is the central character who after a hard but quit successful sobriety, falls back off the wagon, and it's straight off to the nearest bottle'O, one place selling an extensively impressive array of ailments, it almost made me want to take up drinking. Every performance in this film is excellent, no exceptions, some quite amazing, no more than Lewis who's a revelation. He's funny, sad, and REAL, and it utterly appalls me, you didn't receive award recognition. I was so held by his performance, a cyclone, couldn't snap me away. This is such an entertaining film, and it's cause of the superb actors, many of high billing, status. They were so frickin' real and believable. It's Lewis though, who commands the screen. Alcoholic or not, this demands your viewing. Great script too.
