HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE, EVERYTHING ELSE MISPLACED

Make a handful of wrong choices and the themes get buried or you end up playing down the evils of said issues. Which is why it is impressive to see Dude take some really big swings. Do we really have the freedom to love who we want? Is the sanctity of marriage bigger than love? How exactly does societal pressure work? How far can you go for the person you love? Dude tackles such hard-hitting questions every chance it gets. If only these swings translated to more hits than misses.
