Not Awful

Ok, so we all know those movies where the character takes way to long to get from point A to Point B. Well this is one of those movies, so fast-forwarding through some parts and I still didn't miss much. This movie was not all that bad, the lady surprised me so if a movie can surprise me it is not all bad. I will admit though her character was just horrible! She was not a believable actress at all. Now the kids did alright, enough so I didn't hate this movie. So all around, not a movie that will win awards but a good one on a slow night with nothing else to watch.
