I was shocked when I saw this film was rated 8.2

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2015)

I've watched some overrated films and TV shows in my time, but typically when something is rated THIS high, I can feel fairly confident that it won't be terrible.
Well, I suppose that isn't the case, because this movie is borderline awful.
This is nothing more than a two hour cliché. Every single moment of the film is utterly predictable and completely lacking in creativity.
The movie tries so hard to make us feel for these characters, but in the end all I could do was cringe at the cheesiness of it all.
I enjoy a film that tugs on the heart strings, and I actually enjoy some cheesiness as long as it's done well, but this film is just poorly written.
I still gave it a 5, because it's not unwatchable. The acting is acceptable, and the cinematography is tolerable. My main gripe is with the writing. It's one cliché after another, and with each scene all I can think of is how I'm "supposed" to feel, but nothing was done to actually make me feel that way.
I wish people would be more stingy with their 10 star ratings, because this is NOT an 8.2 film, and it would have saved me 140 minutes if people had rated it fairly instead of handing out 10 stars like candy.
