[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not seen it and have not read a single reply, I am going to try to scan for replies to this. I felt like the preview told a whole story and I thought it was going to be kind of hokey and predictable. Please reply to this post if you are so kind and without saying more about the movie tell me if you think that the movie went deeper than the preview?[/quote]

Yeah? But not a lot?

I didn't think it was as great as everyone here seems to think. It was good. It is worth watching. But I thought it was predictable, sentimental, had some distractingly self-conscious acting at times (the kid, who apparently is new to acting), and some awkward writing. The whole broken-strangers-coming-together-and-becoming-found-family thing was heartwarming and worked on some levels, but I also didn't totally buy it, and it's a tired trope.

Certainly above par, though. And Paul Giammati is wonderful as always. [/quote]

Agree that it was hokey and predictable and I felt like PG chose it to be his “Oh Captain, My Captain” movie. It was fine and there were some funny lines but it was also slooooowwww[/quote]
