Whatever happened to being an honorary father?

Eh, to each his own. It was an okay film, but honestly, I find the way Evlyne so swiftly went from thinking that Adam was her father to being romantically in-love with him rather disturbing. I get that the heart wants what the heart wants and all that, but in my humble opinion, this is one case where it would have been better to keep it a father-daughter relationship. Once Evelyn found out the truth, Adam could have just said that it doesn't matter, because he'll be her honorary father, and that would have been sweet and noble. But, the way the story develops takes that away in a sense, and it feels a trite incestuous to me.
