This is a film with such an intriguing premise that I wish they had put more effort into the characters and story-line beforehand.
It has a very capable cast who over and over again pull the film up to a higher level than its really earned. In the end I was moved and touched by the characters -- even while I was aware of being manipulated. But as I said, the premise is worthy and the actors are really making an effort.
In the end it left me thinking, which is more than most films do. And it's always nice to see these actors in almost anything so there is definitely an upside to it.
