This movie is entertaining enough and the plot (once you get past the main premise) is actually interesting, but in spite of an excellent cast, the script could have been much better than it was. All too often, it becomes cliched melodrama. I do have to admit that the ending is actually inspired and bordering on brilliant. Despite the cast and the occasional nice touch, this is only average, but is worth watching.

Great cast, would have been better with an equally good script
