Seventeen-year-old Randy tries very hard to be a good person. Since his father left, Randy takes care of his emotionally disturbed mother, and he's the kind of friend all of his classmates can depend on. As strong as he seems on the outside, Randy is hiding a secret inner struggle and denial of his true self. It's not until he opens himself up to love that he discovers that becoming a man means accepting who you really are.

Notes
The first half-hour of Blackbird is so awful that I debated with myself whether I should continue watching· I decided to endure· Unfortunately, the remainder of the film is equally bad, with few redeeming qualities· Pass this one by.
