Movie #3583 "The Best You Can" (Netflix) I liked this movie, especially the pairing of Kyra Sedgwick with real hubby Kevin Bacon. And it seemed to deal with caretaking in a humorous way, which would be tough to do. The set up is that Kyra is a young woman married to a much older man --- he was her mentor, she respected him and now she has to be the main witness to his slowing down with dementia. Enters a patient she has (she is a urologist) that is a security man who is unhappy with his life - he feels he could do more, esp. with his estranged daughter --- he is kind of trying to caretaker, too. They both are lonely in their lives and find comfort in talking to each other, for misery loves company. The two stories aren't exactly alike, but both the wife and the father are trying to do the best they can. I'd give this a 4 out of 5 and recommend it. Once again, some humor in dealing with some very serious problems.
