Okay to while away time. Could be avoided.

There's one complaint I've against this movie - it didn't do justice to a whole load of potential stories that could be developed. The story of a man who's stretched between his love for playing football (the 500th match) and his love for his wife. The story of a man whose crush became his step-mother.

The one good thing in this movie is the chemistry between Cass, Kate, and Adam. There's this bond between Kate and Adam that has been played perfectly in the movie, and they have not gone overboard with it.

Overall, nothing great about the movie, though you may smile at the little hilarious scenes here and there. If you could avoid it, you wouldn't miss a thing.
