How depressing! geared for the overly sentimental US market.

Rating: 3/10 (10 April 2007)

Good acting, good script but just really boring, I gave up on the character, which may say more about me. I saw the message the film was trying to deliver but this was about a guy who born under a lucky star. This film was not about a guy struggling at the bottom to work his way up, it is about a guy clearly born under a lucky star where everything just went wrong in his life. Just as there seemed to be a glimmer of hope, it was all snatched away again. I hated this film, it was very very depressing, I had to switch it off in the end as I was thinking about topping myself. I think the film was more geared up for the overly sentimental US market.
