Dumb.

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2005)

It's no big trick to make a sad film. Just take a protagonist in the form of a hopeful kid, woman, or small animal (any innocent), add a Morgan Freeman narration, and have them get hurt. Of course we knew that Maggie wouldn't just shoot to the top and live happily ever after, but jeez, quadriplegic?!?!
How's that for taking the easy route to emotional manipulation? I don't really see the point of this film. Not to say that it's a bad film. It's certainly a successful film in the Hollywood sense of film-making, but who cares?
Whatever...
