    Great movie about picking up the pieces of life after adversity strikes. Very emotional for me yet a strong meaning we all can share and be part of "THANK YOU LUKE"!

    Trite, sappy, melodramatic, predictable and boring as hell. The-perfect-family-does-the-grief-thing: I was totally unmoved. What's worse than watching perfect people? I can't relate.

    How dissapointing this movie must have been for this family. The movie tries to be touching and moving, however it just looks rushed and silly. Dad crying at the funeral sounded like a walrus, and comes across as funny. Poor Andie MacDowell, trapped in this mess.

    Yes   |   No
