You Can Count On Me (2000)
Sammy Prescott is a single mother who has lived all her life in Scottsville, New York. Now she's raising her 8-year-old son there, enjoying the peace of the family home and security of her job at the bank, blotting out any memories of Rudy's father. But the illusion of perfection is shattered when her charmingly self-destructive brother Terry (Mark Ruffalo) comes home for a visit.

Reviewed by: Rubber Ducky
Compelling drama
Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo are excellent as brother and sister; she is Sammy, the serious hard-working one trying to bring up her son alone and he is Terry, a free spirit who pleases himself and does what ever he wants, when he wants. When Terry comes to stay, Sammy's life and that of her son, Rudy, are turned upside down as Terry teaches him lots of bad habits. The exploration of brother sister relationships is very well done and it is both touching and funny.
