not terrible but not great - tbird
vince vaughn was sexy and he has a lot of power in his eyes.he would be great in a black and white film noir.the story was far too cliche and sentimental for my liking but i love the idea of a story about being a single parent. it is a story worth writing if one can do it accurately.i just felt the movie was more like something you would see on tv.good drama - unohoo
is very rare these days.
The challenges facing a single parent, a man in this case, are dealt with with sensitivity.
All the other characters are peripheral to the focus of this film ie: the difficult choices a professional must make raising a young child.
Well done.A dull, lame movie. - cathyottawa
I really wanted this to be good.
It was filmed in my own small home town of Lindsay Ontario - how cool is that! But seeing Vince Vaughn in downtown Lindsay was pretty much the only thrill I got from this flick.
This is like an inferior version of Kramer vs Kramer. It's nice to see Vaughn doing something other than the Vaughn schtick he's known for, and he's pretty good as a single father, struggling to figure out parenthood...but this film really has very little to offer plot wise.
As was mentioned by topaz, the mother is never fleshed out - we needed more of her back story.
There's subplots involving a kooky case Vaughn is working on, and some stuff with Joey Lauren Adam's brother that are completely unnecessary. They should have used that time to delve into the juicy parts of the story more.
Vaughn and Adams have some steamy scenes together, but again, their relasionship isn't fleshed out at all.
The child actor was okay, though not particularily memorable - just like this movie.
