Great family film with some real life exchanges
26 July 2005
The movie presents a great premise as well as real life situations and interchange. Being a man, the exchange between John and Anna was classic in the quest to find out the status of their relationship. It definitely highlights the difference between the sexes - caused some raucous discussion in our group. I had to adjust to the use of fewer angles and frequency of shots. It is not the new image every 3 seconds like Star Wars but more like the older generation of film that depends on the facial expression and sometimes pauses to get the emotion across. It is a good theme to use and discuss with children the impact of the death of a parent. Sometimes the plot was slow, and some scenes could have used more intensity of emotion. The scenes with Sierra were unrehearsed and very genuine. I can see why she would receive recognition.
