Adam Beach is so bad it makes me almost angry that someone made the decision to put him on my screen. There is no getting past it no matter how much you try. How can an "actor" be so inept? How bad is he? You know those awkward commercials with sports stars where they can't say their lines even after 100 takes? He's worse than those guys. Absolutely brutal.
As for the rest of it, the scenery is the only reason to watch. Maybe with the sound off? Everyone else seems decent enough I guess, but it only seems that way because you are so relieved the scene doesn't have that clown it it. Problem is, he is in nearly every scene.
Don't waste your time hoping it will get better. It actually gets worse.

I had a hard time making it all the way through this movie. I usually like these kinds of films and I understand their limitations going into it.
While I understand how hard it is to keep audiences engaged when there are few sets, few characters, etc., this movie doesn't really suffer from those things. It just doesn't have a story that merits a full length movie.
The vast majority of the film is spent filling time and really doesn't add to the plot, answer any questions, add intrigue, or contribute to any other desirable outcome. It really just belabors the same point.
You know those jokes that are too long and that's part of the cringe of it? The joke teller delights in having your attention. This film starts to delve into that territory for me.
This could have worked as a short, but it gets tedious in this format. Very tedious. It had promise, but just not enough interest.
6 stars for decent, albeit over-dramatic performances. Decent use of budget. 4 stars for entertainment value.

A feel good movie that restores an iota of faith in humanity when we could desperately use it.
It has it's flaws, but this is a movie that will appeal to anyone that enjoys the charm of classic movies that is so often lost in current productions.
Like most classic movies, you have to let a touch of reason go and venture into the realm of fantasy. If you are one of those "that could never happen in real life" people, this movie isn't for you.
My wife apologized before we watched it, thinking of it as a "chick flick". I disagree.
That is if you are open to a little restoration of that faith in humanity previously mentioned.
I doubt you will regret giving this film the chance it deserves.
