Review :

A Straw Dog on the run in Madison County

'Labor Day' begins in a broken and depressed American household. After his parents' divorce, a sensitive seventh-grader called Henry chooses to stay with his mother, Adele, rather than join his father's new family - and subsequently becomes trapped in a dysfunctional relationship as a child parenting a traumatized adult. Their sad life continues until the pair embark on a fateful shopping trip prior to a long holiday weekend, and are accosted in a discount store by a threatening stranger, Frank. The man demands they give him a ride in their car, and accompanies them to their dilapidated rural home. By the next morning it's apparent he's a dangerous escaped convict, and a police dragnet has surrounded the area, making his departure impossible.

After this disturbing first act, the film soon leaves 'Desperate Hours/Straw Dogs' territory in the rear view mirror and enters a sunlit world similar to 'The Bridges of Madison County'. Frank confounds pessimistic expectations by coaching Henry in baseball skills, doing various household odd-jobs, servicing the car and baking peach pies. Before too long he's also healing Adele's aching loneliness with his peachy massage techniques. Fine performances from the three lead actors hold the film together, but can't prevent the story's drift into implausibility and sentimentality. The epilogue stretches any remaining credulity beyond belief as it panders to the feel-good requirements of a rich box-office harvest.
