POSITIVES…
Premise may be familiar, but it's a good straightforward drama.
Justin Timberlake is solid here, acting all serious in a sympathetic role as Eddie Palmer.
Ryder Allen embraces his role as Sam, in a greatly affectionate and energetic way.
As expected, the relationship with Palmer and Sam is the heart and reason to see this movie.
You add in Alisha Wainwright as Miss Maggie to that duo, and it's a delightful trio.
There's this dialogue in a car with June Squibb and Ryder Allen that was pretty entertaining.
Some emotional moments were effectively done.
The topics and subject matters the movie tackles are quite admirable.
NEGATIVES…
Story is generally derivative. Nothing too surprising or freshly unique.
Cliches and plot tropes galore.
Might be too slow or sentimental for some.
Takes a while to really get going.
