Loved it

UncleBuck from , 25th February, 2009

With under stated performances from all concerned this film was an absolute cracker. I enjoyed every minute from start to finish. OK it may not be no better than an afternoon movie on the Hallmark Channel but then sometimes that is all that is required. Nothing hard to think about, no complicated plotline; just a basic story.

This film is worth a watch although not a brilliant ending and not what you would expect

Dissappointing really! The film starts off and feels quite gripping but after watching that it really was quite a poor story

More one for the true movie channel

Not one of her better films, pretty bland and boring. You watch it because you have paid for it not because you like it.

It will start soon.

A Customer from Mansfield, 28th October, 2009

From start to finish, we were waiting for it to actually start. So boring. What was Sigouney Weaver thinking when she signed up to this movie? Dont waste your time watching this!
