Has promise but in the end falls flat

Notwithstanding if this (or something like this actually happened) it falls flat as for one there seems to be no cliché left out, and then in the end it's a 'message' movie - and message movies don't work. Both, the good and the bad parties in this film are very one-dimensionally portrayed - the film leaves on empty on an emotional and also intellectual level. It could have been a much better film.
