Spring Forward

Spring Forward tells the story of Paul (Liev Schreiber) and Murphy (Ned Beatty) developing a bond as they work together for the parks and recreations department. Paul has just been released from prison and Murphy is an older vet whose son is dying. Through the time they spend with each other they learn from each other and form a close bond. Both Beatty and Schrieber offer admirable performances, neither exceptional but the script does not allow for this. Overall Spring Forward is an enjoyable gentle film.
