A drama that is effective in some places and seems to lead nowhere in others.

Behind the bad writing, shallow and underdeveloped characters and naive/lazy plot progression there is a good story here. Kristen Stewart, as charming as usual. And The Boss obviously.

It's honestly really not very bad, it just doesn't really do anything to surprise. Parts of the film seem to be designed to make you feel bad, but it just comes off as artificial. There are some good performances, but this suffers from the usual movie-world cliche in which every girl around every corner is gorgeous, single, and immediately attracted to our hard-luck protagonist should he show the slightest bit of interest in her.

"So pillow-soft that its most jarring element is the countenance of Meg Ryan, whose once warm, sunshiny face has been nipped and tucked into a rigid feline Joker grin." - Nick Schager

Incoherent mess of a screenplay ultimately defeats fairly well performed film, with Ryan a touching stand-out, but not one of the multitude of characters on display are explored at any great depth -- and potentially intriguing story threads are left to hang in the air, be it an odd "Mrs Robinson" dynamic, a dysfunctional family's attempts at dealing with illness etc. Stewart's bloodless, lifeless performance is also a serious debit.

Ultimately I liked it. It tried to do things different, it's not really a romance or even a coming of age story it's just about moving on. It mostly succeeded though some parts definitely feel contrived. Also with some of the dorkiest attempts at jokes I've ever seen.

Entirely different from the movie in the trailer... It is interesting to see Meg Ryan in all her aged, sagging glory, and I was beginning to miss Seth Cohen, so thanks for that. There's a shell of a good movie here, but they failed to fill it with anything interesting or surprising.

disapointing inchorent mess, its like an old timers story, it starts at the base and then the woodwork is done all wrong and by the end, yes its a house but its a house with gaps and a measure of what it could be. now thats what this film is like, my perfect house example.

This is the kind of film where there's a phone conversation in the third act where Anaya announces she wants to get back together with Brody. It's treated as a really momentous thing, and promptly never mentioned again.
