Based on a true story. Opens with a hip young mom out drinking and partying with her teenage daughter and daughter's friends. When things go horribly wrong, she's confronted head-on by her own alcohol addiction. I can appreciate the fact that it's based on a very tragic true story, and was made for the family victim to this tragedy. All that aside, judging it strictly as a film, I felt that it simply told the bare bones of the story as it happened and didn't really take any creative license in the interpretation. It told a story, but did little else. There was some good acting, but it would have been better if the actors had been given more to work with. It felt like the characters existed only to serve the story, when it should be the other way around. What was done was done well, I just feel there should have been more to it.
