  1. The central story, in which Helms has to make up his mind whether to attend his sister's funeral, is too limited a conflict to hang a movie on. Ultimately, audiences will have to satisfy themselves with the collective presence of these actors and the movie's obviously good-hearted intentions.

    Exceptionally strong cast is pictures beating heart.
  3. Writer-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman can't adequately handle either of his tasks: The script is as sappy as the direction is awkward. Fortunately, he was smart enough to enlist a cast of pros who can ably sidestep the project's many potholes.
  4. 0
    Williams appears to be having trouble keeping his eyes open, and the audience will, too.

    This movie is absolutely terrible. its not cohesive, boring, slow. too much is left unexplained. the movie also made me very angry and i think it sends a bad message to women. one girls boyfriend cheats with her best friend and she "forgives" him by getting back with him? What type of BS is that? also all the subtle but "powerful" moments ALWAYS missed the mark with the exception of the part where Union looks as her boyfriend when he has to make a crucial decision as to whether or not he should abandon her. otherwise the movie is a TERRIBLE waste of time.
