1/10
A sappy stinker of a movie
31 March 2016
I rarely would give 1 out of 10 to any movie but this one barely makes a 1.

Deadly slow moving, overly sappy and sentimental with unlikable characters, with the possible exception of Hal Holbrook's character "Harry Pleasant". Sophie Conway (Maggie Grace of "taken" fame) plays a snotty little self-centered disrespectful brat. Her character's mother was equally as snotty and self centered who is dating a disgustingly poor excuse for a man. Sophie's main love interest (there were more than one) was a one-dimensional dull wimp.

In other words, it's difficult to like a movie when there's not one likable character in the bunch (other than Harry Pleasant).

The plot (if you can call it that) was so slow and plodding, just making it to the end without falling asleep was a challenge.

This was apparently a made-for-TV or a Direct-to-DVD production, not even worthy of its own hyper-link on Maggie Grace's Wikipedia filmography page. (Speaking of whom, Ms. Grace is a "one trick pony" and plays essentially the same character in any movie she is in. She did not disappoint this time around in that respect.)

No spoiler alert here, other than this movie was a real stinker.
