Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Ultimately disappointing . This film had a lot of potential--interesting premise, compelling characters and a strong cast--but something keeps it from gelling into a satisfying story.  There's a flatness to the film that is probably the fault of the director.  The above-average cast, that includes the wonderful Bonnie Hunt, Michael Learned and several other very likable young actors, seems squandered somehow by a lackluster dialogue and unrelenting low key tone.  The redemption that this viewer wanted to see emerge from the script at the conclusion didn't quite make it.  A pity as, despite the film's continuing weaknesses, I wanted more than melancholy for its lead characters.
Output (English): NEG
