While this film seemed to garner ratings from most reviewers at either one end of the scale or the other, it was very middle of the road for me. I didn't think it was horrible, but it was also far from great.
What disappointed me the most, were the performances by those you would have expected to be the best. James Brolin and Jane Seymour turned in B-rated performances at best, in my opinion. Mandy Moore did okay, but certainly wasn't a shining star. I will allow that the material she had to work with didn't do a lot for her. That said, the material wasn't any better for Kellan Lutz or Jessica Szohr, yet they turned in very credible, authentic, engaging performances. They were the only two who made it worth hanging in there through the entire film. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say this is one of the better performances I've seen from Kellan Lutz to date.
Bottom line, if you don't expect a lot from it and aren't paying much to watch it, you probably won't feel cheated. Otherwise, you may prefer to choose something else to watch.
