Audience Member Not worth watching again Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member After looking at my dad and saying "Holy shit, that was terrible" my dad just looked back and said, "Terrible can't even begin to describe it". Two reviews in one Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't make it 20 minutes in. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Very similar to other movies of the same idea, but this just fell short. None of the characters were likable, though I thought Thora Birch did great in her role. I really did not enjoy this film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member retarded. then again....i can't stand david arquette. but the whole execution of this film fails on just about every level. the highlight being an interaction between arquette and a 11 year old hockey kid. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member As insightful and awe-inspiring as a booger smeared on the wall. About as cohesive as a senior citizen with end-stage Alzheimer's. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
