Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where Callie is mailing the stack of wedding invitations, the flap on the bottom envelope hasn't been sealed.

Just dreadful

I watched this film yesterday. Where do I start? I have never seen such a load of old tosh. The music was intrusive and didn't let up for the whole movie. The premise that two people in the same hospital would receive donor hearts from a married couple is just laughable. The child was vomit-inducing and the acting as a whole was lamentable. I kept hoping things would improve, however, when the couple began stalking the child, I gave up, decided life is too short to watch drivel and went and watched some paint dry instead. I saw Samantha Mathis in Jack and Sarah and she was very good; how she could stoop so low as to appear in this rubbish is beyond belief.
