There are some movies you watch with friends and family as an evening event. There are others you watch when you're folding laundry. This was a laundry folder. Not a bad movie. It kept my interest. There is nothing I can say that was truly awful about it. I just wanted there to be something more. Maybe a different ending that would have surprised me. Maybe a different telling of this familiar story. The acting was fine. The pacing was good. The music was fine. The climax didn't seem to match the story that was presented up to that point, so the ending seemed out of place, as if it was an idea tacked on from a different story. Still, it was a serviceable close to the movie. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in a theatre but it was perfectly fine streaming in the background while I was doing housework. Watch, but don't expect too much.
