User Reviews

A protagonist should be...likeable

The story is bland and the writing is sub-par, but what really tanks this movie is that the main character just isn't likeable.

It may have been different if there was some sort of realization process the character goes through, like with Scrooge, but instead she just continues along, blissfully unaware of how she might be her own worst enemy. Her intended romantic interest comes off as weak due to this. Instead of standing up for himself he just meekly goes along with it as long as she' willing to tolerate his presence.

The plot, which takes far too long to develop, suffers as a result. We don't really care what the main character is (about) to go through because we don't care about her as a person.
