Promise kept.

This movie was based on Kurt Vonnegut and his first wife, Jane. It was inspired by the memoir of Jane - "Angels Without Wings: A Courageous Family's Triumph Over Tragedy". Four orphaned nephews befall a working couple who can barely take care of their own three children.

Dana Delany and William Russ are both very good here. The kids are OK. Some of the scenes are also nicely photographed and the beach is very nice. Unfortunately, the movie drags towards the end.
