MOVIE REVIEW

I have never read Frank McCourt's novel nor will I ever, but as a movie, Angela's Ashes is an easy tale to watch. The tale is McCourt's life and how he and his family deal with a dad that doesn't provide and miserable living conditions that are hardly suitable for humans to stay in. It is also about Frank trying to earn enough money to come to America, the home he left when he was younger.
