i give it a d for dialogue and which be hackneyed and atrocious and and there isn not a grade low enough for the script . honestly and i really like the people in this movie and mary mcdonnell especially . but she and they be so much good than this . mary mcdonnell have be in countless movie of good quality . emmy rossum be one of the bright spot in the day after tomorrow . james badge dale be excellent a chase in last year season of 24. steven bauer . well and i be not sure about him . a for nola and the idea be good and but the material just isn not there . seriously and i could see the end of this movie come an hour before it be over . the young law student rid in on his white horse to save the legal day while nola herself be put in a sleazy predicament while leo the reporter break the story and and by the way and just happens to be nola long lose father while nola end up sing for a living while it all way too predictable . i stick around out of morbid curiosity while everyone else should spare themselves .
