Good concept, poorly executed.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
