Once the over-acting parents appeared on the scene, that pretty much did it, and set the tone for the rest of the film. I have seen better acting in amateur productions, and these are professionals !!!! Maybe for many it was their first role as they left acting school, but some were so wooden they would be better of taking up carpentry as a career. The script didn't help, so zero points for the scriptwriters.
In essence, not worth staying in for.
