Too much narration...
this movie had so much narration I had thought it was a Martin Scorsese movie.
if i wanted to read the book, I would have.
Had the misfortune catching the last 15 mins on PeachtreeTV Atlanta (they rotate a small batch of crappy movies weeknights) waiting for sub-mediocre Last Man Standing to come on (yes, bash me for purposely choosing LMS!).
I was 2 minutes into the lame auction when I could sense this movie would be drenched in saturated narration. It continued the rest of the ordeal.
I don't know if the last 20 mins was a flashback (like also horrible Now & Then) or the whole movie starred the child cast and didn't care. All I knew was I could safely bet the rest of the movie was suffocating in voice-over and I didn't want to know what happened that caused such strife over a damn kiss!!
