Tribute was a decent look at what it's like to have a famous parent, to feel out of place in a family, and about deciding which path to take in life. A coming of age story for boys. Also has a very sensitive and realistic portrayal of mental disability and deals with topics like religion and morals without being preachy. ( ) Grady Grennan is in town to participate in a third anniversary memorial of his rock-star mother’s death from an overdose on drugs. He stays with his mother’s former boyfriend Mitch and his wife, Vickie, their kids and Grady’s half-brother Louie, who is mentally disabled. Grady feels indifference towards his mother who was never there for him really; his future, which is uncertain--should he attend school in Europe or live with Vickie and Mitch, the born-again Christians; and his relationship with Vickie. In the end, he doesn’t want to be a loner like his mother was. Grady Grennan's mother was a famous rock star who died of a drug overdose. After being invited to speak at a tribute concert for his mother, Grady struggles to come to terms with his conflicted feelings about her. Meanwhile, he skateboards, spends time with his mentally disabled brother and gets into constant arguments with his ultra-religious step-mother. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
