Just plain dull ... And boring ... And dare I say pointless and pretentious?
It took me 45 minutes to realise that nothing was going to happen in this film, and at this point I desperately hit Google on my phone to see if I was somehow missing the point or something really profound. I wasn't. The film, which detailed (and I mean really detailed) a father/daughter sun holiday, was about interesting as watching your great aunt's holiday photos of Rhyl on a slideshow in January. Yes, the performances were ok, but they were wasted on the monotony of an endless, interminable sequence of playing pool, eating meals, sleeping, and chatting with random strangers in the water. And all the while, nothing happened. They ate, they slept, they put sun cream on, and that was it for the entirety of the movie. Zzzzzzz.
The Dad had issues, but I couldn't have cared less as there was no explanation of what they were and why he was experiencing them. The girl was sweet, but that's about it ... In her own reflections of herself, from an adult perspective she was impeccably behaved and too good to be true (Really? Show me an 11 year old who is perfectly behaved on holidays).
I could go on about how boring this film was, but frankly I'm bored even thinking about it. So I'll stop here ...
