This movie was okay. I can't say more or less about it than that. I'm a fan of Zach Braff in about anything he does, and the cast did give some really good performances - Morgan Freeman getting the chance to show a lighter touch, and a more tender side to him than he often gets the chance to. I just feel like the writing let the film down somewhat. I wasn't particularly emotionally involved with the characters, for better or worse, even despite the fine performances. The writing wasn't particularly offensive, but nor was it challenging, and it fell into the formulaic with ease. A shame, then, and a rare mis-step from Braff, who can so often deliver that emotion no matter what side of the camera he's on. I wouldn't suggest avoiding the film, but it's not one that will particularly stick in my memory, either.
