In light of Donald Sutherland's recent passing, I would be remiss if I didn't say that his performance was the only thing worthwhile. Even though I thought that including a hippie grandpa was a lame writing choice and all his dialogue went in one ear and out the other. Overall, it was a bore fest of a film that perhaps tried to give a philosophical message on how to lead one's life or forgive others.

The movie was so unrealistic and dreary. I didn't feel any emotions and the kid actors had nothing to offer. Every performer seemed so agitated and overextended.

There was a slight glimmer of hope when it came to showcasing the young man's anxiety. Otherwise I found myself turning my head away from the screen and wondering if it made sense to turn the film off. I wish I had trusted my instincts.
