Lise’s review:
The script was solid, the themes that were touched on were interesting, the performances were very good and I loved the grandmother. For some unknown reason, I wasn't a fan. It is not the kind of film you can hate or dislike; it is more the kind of film that leaves you exactly as you were before seeing it. It was engaging, but perhaps what it lacked for me was a connection; something to make me feel something--anything. I watched it go by and recognized the funny scenes but not enough to laugh or even chuckle. I recognized the tension created by Platt's affair but didn't care one way or another if he got found out. It's not too often I get to say this, but it was engaging throughout without connecting with me in the slightest. Very odd.
