Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen Erica and Opal run off to live with their father in Albany, it is clear they're not in Albany. For one the train station they get off at is a grand large station. Although still standing and in use as a bank, Albany abandon its large Union Station in downtown Albany for train service in 1968. In 1992 trains were using a small station located in the town of Rensselaer, which is across the Hudson River from Albany. Additionally en-route to their father's house they pass many small semi- detached homes which is reminiscent of Toronto, were most of the film was shot, rather than Albany where houses are larger and mostly detached.

Featured review
Just, no.
Mix every cliché known to cinema, add a dash of sub-par acting, and cringe every 7 seconds. Lather, rinse, repeat. The plot is weak, the characters are self centered, immature and dense. Also, completely static. The soundtrack... who decides on things like this? They should be banished. The moral of this story is something everyone over the age of six already knows, and at best it is just a simple reminder, nothing fantastic. You might as well watch the hallmark channel. Its only saving point was getting to hear Marge Simpson the entire time, and afterward you will want to drown this movie with the first six seasons. Everything, literally everything, ends unresolved as the movie comes to a close. The climax, breakdown, and ending happen in the last ten minutes of film. Boring, unnecessary secondary characters fall off without a trace after they serve the bleak purpose of providing a few one liners a crap screenplay writer couldn't fit into the actual premise otherwise. The budget was small to begin with, and when the money ran out, everyone threw their hands up in the air and threw together a few sure-fire movie tactics for endings, and the happiness of its last few scenes temporarily overshadow the hour and a half crapfest, and if your lucky, those feelings may just last long enough to make you forget about it.
