Seems someone wanted to write/make a semi -serious movie about love and death - compete with To Kill A Mocking Bird type profound voice over. Just one problem, the profoundness first suggested - falls apart and gives way to foolish situations. The main character roles were more annoying than thoughtful & the whole thing leads to an even sillier ending. Some OK touches along the way get lost in superficial writing and overall, it feels like the movie makers may have been afraid of appearing 'sensitive' - so, attempted to play it in off-the-wall -mod-teenybopper mode. This approach was doomed because of the overall serious nature of the main plot. The end result; handfuls may go along with it but, very few. Minor Justin Timberlake score (the producers hubby) ads a little interest.
