I'll try to keep this neutral, so please don't misunderstand.

Good movie...........I dance with my daughter every time she asks and sometimes when she doesn't........it helps put things in perspective
Exactly. My daughter is a little younger than his in the movie and although I try to dance with her too, it still opened my eyes to some things I could be doing differently. I'm a former officer and the movie is about fathers who happen to be officers. They could have just as easily been plumbers. It's not about the job. It's about the responsibility of being a father. I recommend that everyone watches it, if you have children especially. I'm not ashamed to say that when he said the line about dancing with her, it upset me so bad I had to stop watching and take a break. I broke down like never before. I always stop what I'm doing to make her feel special. Especially after watching that movie.
But if one is not a parent, is it of any value? It does not, does it, in its parent message, cause a "negative wave" by saying that one ought to be a parent?
As I said, I am trying to be neutral here and I am glad that all who have seen it found benefit in it. As such, though, there are different standpoints here.
