Mediocre at best!

Rating: 3/10 (8 February 2009)

I came on to this site to read about this film before going to see it at the Cinema. I read with enthusiasm the reports of it and as my wife usually weeps at sad films I packed an extra 2 packets of tissues for the supposed emotional turmoil we were about to endure.
This film is a very slow starter, I knew before I started to watch it, it was only 1 hour 25 mins long so after 60 minutes I was starting to get a little impatient.
I was disappointed to say the least, it wasn't a particularly good story and I seemed to miss the brilliant acting I was lead to believe by reading these other reviews / synopsis.
I looked over at my wife at the end of the film and she looked back at me with a 'thanks for wasting 1 and a half hours of my time' look, NO TEARS, well maybe a few of anger.
I think 7.9/10 average is more than generous for this film, it's OK if there is nothing else that takes your fancy but I wouldn't make a special journey to see it.
