Straight A's

The emotional responses for 'Straight A's' are primarily a blend of dramatic and comedic elements. Sadness is prominent due to the protagonist Scott's past as a junkie, his father's Alzheimer's, and the eventual revelation of a 'sad secret'. Empathy is strongly evoked for Scott's struggles and the impact on his family, particularly Katherine and Charles. Melancholy reflects the underlying themes of regret and lost opportunities. Despite the heavy drama, the film's 'Comedy' genre ensures a significant presence of Humor, Joy, and Happiness, largely stemming from Scott's unpredictable return on horseback and his positive interactions, especially with his nephew Charles, providing moments of levity amidst the family's complex issues.
