This movie could have been good. It really could have. But here's its main downfall: it's beyond trite. For the meager time that the two supposedly main characters are interacting, it's all contrived dialogue with absolutely no notions of subtlety. The last scene, which others have called moving, is unrealistically sentimental (read: trite, again).
Another pet peeve: there are female characters in this film, but they are flimsy, cardboard human beings. If you've heard of the Bechdel test, you know how it goes. A movie has passably strong female characters if:
1. There is more than one female character 2. These female characters talk to each other at least once 3. What they talk about is not men
This movie failed that miserably, which was saddening.
I would pass this film by.
