Too many fans seem to be blown away
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
