This movie was so poorly done. The acting was 4th rate. The guvna should was the worst. No, wait, Neil was the worst. Let's see 2002 and what has the near-great D.J. done since? Nothing that I know. Rachel is a poor man's Alicia Silverstone.

It had the dynamics of a good movie but no follow through. It built up to .... well, nothing. I guess it's one of those movies you watch to kill time but you wouldn't watch it again and you wouldn't recommend it.

Just a bit more thought put into this movie could have made it from a real "drag out" to maybe half good...............

The first ten minutes of the central character lolling against various cushions as his flatly-voiced narrative intones one cliche after another, beg the viewer to escape this movie before an evening's entertainment viewing is ruined. Done and done.

Good story but I feel very much underdeveloped a little bit. In terms of characters and dialogue, I wished to have this film go even more deeper.

Lots f potential to be a greta film, but did not deliver. I think stylistically it was a little bit adventurous fairy tale on the edge, but then it got a little bit too sweet PG 13. I felt like I wanted the director to go with the edge part a little bit more. Tell us much more about TJ, and Neil. Not enough 3D to characters, they felt a little bit flat, and not 3 dimensional, or at east more complex that director wanted them to be.

this film is very ambitious but failed to deliver its goal and fulfill its ambition.

There are so many things that a teen has to face in life. Sometimes you can help and sometimes you can't. The father's of these 2 kids let them down. They never had anything good to say. No matter how hard the mother works to keep the family together, if the father is in the home. He must take the time to show leadership and love.
