Truly Dreadful Film
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
