[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
I was so disappointed in this movie, espcially considering that it was voted People's Choice at the film festival. I found it both trite and depressing. Furthermore, the ending scene was so badly executed (the prominent sign," no dogs allowed on the beach"!? Was what stood out the most. To me, the themes did not exemplify the values of family as at least one reviewer commented. Instead, the movie was an exploration of people who quit and give up, wallowing in the past rather than awakening to the possibiliies in the present--not that movie's need to be didactic or offer a message of course but perhaps they need to offer at least some hope. I did not find the main characters even remotely interesting or convincing. The best acting was evidenced in the supporting roles. There were a few nice moments and scenes but my favourite song from the movie's trailer was cut from the actual movie. It was truly a waste of our time and I wish I had not seen it. The trailer is the best part of it but it definitely does not live up to its promise.
3/10
