“It’s a nice subplot that about halfway through the movie, of these two outsiders, these two guys struggling, that kind of bring out the best in each other,” Hugh expressed about the flick (via Chicago Sun-Times) “But really, Taron‘s performance as Eddie is miraculous. It will make you cheer, and it might even bring a tear to your eye.”
