Tries to cover too many topics in one film

Rating: 3/10 (9 May 2005)

I really did not enjoy this film. It tries to cover too many issues in two hours, and tries too hard to be a tearjerker.
It's about a car crash and the way in which the people involved in it possess lives which are linked with each other. It takes a modern "serious" issue like racism or guns and assigns it to a subplot woven into the film, but as a result, you're pulled in a lot of different directions, and the film just never seems to find a focus. It seemed like a greeting card's evil twin - covers serious issues superficially, gives us MTV emotional moments, doesn't satisfactorily resolve loose threads, doesn't really have a point.
I would not recommend this film.
