Thirty years after they served together in Vietnam, a former Navy Corpsman Larry "Doc" Shepherd re-unites with his old buddies, former Marines Sal Nealon and Reverend Richard Mueller, to bury his son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War.
I didn't really like this movie. The whole room was laughing so I assume there were jokes in it but I didn't get any of them. It was basically just the three of them travelling to get his son and then travelling back to bury him. Sal was always drunk and Richard wasn't even gonna go to the funeral in the first place. I wasn't into this at all. I hated even more that they lied to Doc about his son being a hero. You should never lie to someone like that. I also didn't like that Wilits was trying to stop him from burying his son where he wanted. He is the boy's father so let him chose what he wants. Though I like that all the people showed up to his funeral and wake to mourn. I did like that they let Washington go with them rather than sending him back to the war. The part I loved even more is the end. It was such a sweet letter. I liked the cast but this was just not a great movie to me. Also I never knew Amazon made movies.
