From some of the review comments I read, I was expecting a real dog of a movie. The truth is, the plot left something to be desired, but the acting wasn't bad, the dialog flowed well, and the camera work was smooth. The story itself was interesting, but I couldn't figure out the 'family dynamics' and I thought the 'dad' character was a bit of an a-hole. In all, I'd watch more from this group. I was not solicited to provide a review. I'm just a regular guy throwing in his two cents.
