I had higher hopes for this picture, but unfortunately I was really disappointed. The actor who played the lead character was nothing less than exceptional. There were too many scenes that were too saccharine sweet and too many scenes that were over the top dramatic. Too many unconvincing scenes, and too many characters I found were just very unendearing, especially the mother. Hollywood also needs to start using more actors and actresses for age appropriate roles. There's way too many middle-aged actors and actresses being used as parents of little children, and it can just simply be a distraction. Use the grandparent and great-grandparents aged actors for grandparent and great-grandparent aged roles. That might seem like unnecessary criticism but it truly can be distracting and make a story less believable. Hopefully his next movie will be better. He is a remarkable, artistic, and highly talented and imaginary director.
