I'm certainly not immune to loss, but this movie had me sleeping 30 minutes into it. I tried watching it again due to the wonderful reviews here, but still could not see what others saw. It felt like I'd watched this movie several times before. The acting is decent, but the storyline was weak. I think "The Sweet Hereafter" dealt with the loss of a child on a more meaningful level than this movie did. I wouldn't recommend this movie at all.
