this movie be terrible . it be a toe squirm example of the pointless sludge hollywood be so keen on there be no message and no edge and no beauty in it . it not even funny . i do not understand how they insist on blow perfectly good money away on a terrible sugary film like this one . this story could have be pretty good in the hand of the right people and but here it tell just so smoothly and dishonest . i hate these kind of movie that play with your emotion and actually succeed in make you well up and but leave you feel hollow and sick . one of the major low be the girl that play the main character represent she be just obnoxious overact ( be she on speed . ) and show no real emotion ( the way she be stand there with her face cover in snot and tear without wipe it off i felt like slap her in the face and i actually shout at the screen . and then there be that terrible dog and the way she talk to it i want to shoot it dead ) and awful . you do not for one moment believe that she even love her boyfriend . the rest of the cast be actually rather good ( do i detect hint of fear in some eye sometimes . ) and especially the girl with the freckle and though holly hunter be fairly annoy . to each his own i suppose and but i can not see the value of this vehicle .
