Could have been Much better

The story itself is not a bad thing. Paul Greene also never disappoints. He's the reason I gave it at least a 3.

Someone mentioned that Diane, the mother, was selfish and not a caring parent. My take is that, in the beginning, she should have been honest with her kids and let them know how hard she was trying to hold everything together. I didn't find her to be uncaring at all, she just had a lot on her plate and was really stressed, while trying to be a single parent.

The teenager, Andrea, was the snooty, immature, rude and disrespectful brat. She played her part very well.

I kept getting more and more agitated while watching this movie. Reading the responses here, someone hit the nail on the head. TOO GIDDY. Way too much laughing, or nervous laughter for everything. My goodness, Diane couldn't hardly say a word without the constant annoying laugh. It surprises me that the director kept all that in.

It would really be a great movie to watch again if you could cut out all the annoying laughter.
