Nothing to write home about

Rating: 3/10 (16 November 2008)

I disliked this movie. I can in no way imagine ever wanting to watch this movie again. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great, either. Instead, I found it to be predictable, disengenuine, and (most offensively) unfunny.
I am not sure whether or not this movie was meant to be a comedy or drama, but it had way more drama than comedy. All of it, I was able to predict beforehand.
This movie seemed to end about four times but it kept going. The movie lasted much longer than it should have. By the time we got to the end of the movie I didn't care anymore.
The lead actor strongly resembled Fred Savage, though I can't hold that against him. He seemed to always be mugging to the camera and it really came off as annoying. Elisha Cuthbert was good, however, but that wasn't enough to salvage this.
Again, the movie wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. There is nothing remarkable about this movie that would make it stand out among it's peers. It's not a great drama, it's story isn't anything special, it's not funny. It's just bland.
