A son has to stay with his father for the summer. The son thinks his father is addicted to pain meds, only at the end to find out he is seriously ill. The father is living in this shack, while building a home, makes the son help build. There is young girl living next door..the boy gets involved with her.
When people find out how sick he is...all these towns people help...with their time, and give supplies.
The twist at the end is.. the house isn't for the father, it is for a woman that he (or the man's father) crippled in a car accident. I tried searching for this..but I cannot find it. I saw it years ago and the main actors have become shaded.
Can anyone help with this???

Life As A House-it's makes me cry at the end-such a good movie.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Kevin Kline plays George Monroe, who is fired from his job as a designer of architectural models and is diagnosed with terminal cancer. He enlists the help of his reluctant and rebellious son Sam, played by Hayden Christensen, to demolish the shack that George inherited from his abusive father and build an elegant home in its place. During this experience, George reconnects with his son and his divorced wife Robin, played by Kristin Scott Thomas. The movie is a source of discovery both for George and Sam. Sam in particular changes from a rebellious drug taking teen into something more closely resembling his father. This is evident in the final sequence, in which Sam gives the house to a woman disabled by a car accident caused by George's father while driving under the influence.
