Wat, ah yah one of those southie smaht kids? That was just a short representation of what I liked best about this movie, the total entrenched Boston accents. I love to hear and imitate that accent but when I hear women talk like that I cringe because its wicked annoying! Well, here is the true story of Jeff Bauman played by one of our favorites, good ole Jake. You remember Bauman right? The ordinary, no goals, drunk dipshit who was at the wrong place at the wrong time (which was a miracle he even got out of bed that day to be honest). Okay, jokes aside he was one of the unfortunate spectators of the Boston Marathon who was injured due to the bombing. He lost both of this legs and the story is of his struggles, menacing family, and ultimately his comeback. It is a very "Hollywood-ized" movie but the story is pretty incredible. For one, if I had his family and their loud, rude, no filter demeanor I would have wished to loose my head instead of legs! Too soon? Sorry. The greatest part of the story is the scene where he finally meets the mysterious cowboy-hat wearing man who basically saved his life. Talk about a tear-jerker! Definitely give this one a shot!
FYI: Many of the real doctors played themselves in the unscripted hospital scenes.
