    Shallow and blatantly manipulative variation on "Awakenings" in which every plot development is telegraphed.

    This movie's already been entertaining (or boring) airline passengers for months.
  4. (Shue's) sweetly likable performance is the only coherent element in a film that has the impersonal feel of a television drama slapped together in a rush.
