    Great heart-warming movie

    This is one of my all time favorites. Simple story about a complicated sailor (Derek Luke)prone to emotional outbursts. He starts seeing a naval psychologist (the fabulous Denzel Washington) who helps him sort through his demons, reflect on his past, and find the family he never knew. Raised in an abusive foster home, he is determined to make something of himself, and try to put the daunting past behind him.

    Along the way he gets a girlfriend who helps him and encourages him to find himself, and search for his roots.

    One of the coolest endings in a movie. I get teary-eyed every time.

    AWESOME movie!!!
