Yes, I think so (I also loved Prey). It's not very much like Prey, although it also has a family theme throughout.

I did have to close my eyes a few times, but I wept real tears and giggled a lot. It was a fun, heartwarming time.

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.
