From beginning to end, it was quite predictable what was going to happen in this film. Megan Fox and Madeline Zima do the best they can with what they're given, but the film ultimately short circuits as soon as it began. The acting and writing are dismal, but it's a well-directed film, and I wish I could give more credit to SK Dale's attempt at trying to keep this shipwreck afloat.
