I shed no tears, but appreciated the effort.
I just rented this movie and I gotta say, I wasn't really that impressed with it. I saw the "twist" coming a mile away. I felt the story was poignant because I lost a parent when I was only 12 years old, but the execution of it was, well, just a little bit too sappy overall. I loved a few of the set designs like the IF's apartment which was decorated with very cozy furnishings and the scene when Bea's imagination takes over at the IF's Retirement Community. It also felt like John Krasinki was REALLY trying to convey a powerful, positive, albeit VERY PREACHY message of "don't ever lose your inner child". I agree with that. I just don't feel like I want that sentiment shoved down my throat.
