especially in the Houston area, chances are you've seen high water over the past couple of years.

When a good "grown up" movie like HOHW comes out, I feel compelled to see it in the theater. I vote with my wallet.

And you're absolutely right---the less said about plot development, the better. A good friend of mine, somebody I trust, gave me the "I'm not going to tell you about this movie, just go see it" treatment on it, and that was enough for me to venture to the theater ( rather than waiting for it to turn up on Netflix). Very worthwhile. How about that cranky old waitress?

And the waitress with her boobs hanging out. In a small town, you have to do what you can to get better tips.
