Generally speaking, this is not a bad movie. But it is not great either. It is somewhere in the middle, but the story - or better to say the point of the story makes it a bit more appealing and interesting ( complex family relations which most of us can relate to). If there were not some things that I found very 'lame' in the movie, I guess the rating would be higher.
First, I found it very silly and totally not understandable why he did not tell his sister earlier who he was? The feeling I had that she was kinda falling for him made me feel uncomfortable. Incest was in the air ...
Also, OK, I know it is a movie - though based on true events - but I don't think anyone would choose to help a kid in school when his mother is on the way ( and plus nothing of a big deal happened) to help him when on the other hand you have several people hanging above your head with : You will go to prison messages.
The reason for his girlfriend's leaving was lame. They should have come up with something more serious and believable...
Michelle Pffeiffer was kinda unrecognizable to me! Botox - too much of it? Or maybe I just did not see her in any of recent films.
six from me.
