A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Good actors and acting, but didn't feel they fit the parts they were playing. The story just didn't fit the characters. They look talented and smart but live like they are not. The alcoholic male lead has money for daily alcohol but begrudges his sober partner for going to doctor when bleeding. The director attempts to make a political statement about how he views the minimum wage life of the south, but just misses with the choice of actors and unbelievability of the story.

SPOILERS: Unfairly perhaps, I would have much preferred Melissa, after the grievous abortion, to realize that every man in her life was a loser and to resolve to go it alone once her health was regained. I also would have rated 'Sunlight Jr.' another point but for a bad use by the screenwriters of poetic license: We know she's penniless but somehow manages to get an ultra-sound exam, see a pediatrician and to top it off, obtain an abortion. As you all too well know, medical technicians and particularly doctors aren't in it for humanitarian reasons.

I know both Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon look young for their age, but the fact is when this movie was made, in 2013, Matt is close to 50 and Naomi is in her mid-40's! I liked this movie, but I had a real problem with the ages of the actors! Only a couple in their 20's, 30's at the latest, would have these problems!! What were the writers thinking?? I mean, an unplanned pregnancy at her age?? And such financial difficulties?? Homelessness? Living with her Mother? At their age?? Ridiculous! Even with him being disabled. And speaking of that, SURELY he'd be getting a little more money for his disability. I don't know. I love these actors, so I liked the movie for that reason. But their ages really threw me off!!

Contains spoiler alert*** Slow moving, I was okay with that to the point. The characters were not in depth. The acting was fine on Naomi, Norman and Matts parts. Other than that everyone else sucked. I can wrap this up pretty fast: The movie is named after the store where Naomi works..she quits her job with her mean boss and he fires her at the same time.Shes Pregnant with Matts baby hes in a wheelchair but can apparently makes babies. They live in a small motel and get kicked out when she looses her job. They stay with her mom who has foster children. Her mom seems to lean more for Naomi to be with her ex who is played by Norman Reedus. Nothing even happens with Norman, just small boring drama...So Naomi gets into an argument with Matt runs off to get an abortion, comes back tells Matt, hes okay with it and the movies ends. What kind of ending was that? What did I just see? It just ended with no ending. Its tells us nothing. It doesn't show them getting on their feet, or getting jobs or anything good happening. Just the stupid drama they had...what is the point of this movie????? No Ending at all. I give it one star, yes that is how stupid this movie is.
