Their machismo gradually gives way to something more disarming and sincere, culminating in the production of Holliger’s buddy comedy (also called Too Much Sugar ), a goofy if heartfelt ode to friendship and family that brings everyone together during a faux happy ending.

You can see what the director found appealing about such a character: Raised by a single mom, the former convict spent four years in jail before becoming a manual laborer and amateur boxer.

This swaggering ball of machismo first came to Greene’s attention long before he ever started rolling cameras because both men had sons who played in the same youth basketball league.

What begins with the seeds of a vanity project organically blossoms into something that encompasses the many people Ryan’s life touches.

The film’s aesthetics begin with a fairly clear delineation between moviemaking magic and hardscrabble reality.
