    Loved it

    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.

    Rubbish

    this film was eye renchingley boaring... from start to end.. i was pondering on turning the DVD off... one to help you sleep if nothing else.. !! a real let down as i thought it would be good as it had Segorney Weaver in it... she really was scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.. !!
