• Poster: B-

Review:

All that's missing is the Hallmark Hall of Fame logo and you'd have every other Lifetime movie poster ever made. I like the colors and the layout, which is the only reason this one isn't netting a lower rating.

• Trailer: B

Review:

While this could very easily be a treacly, overblown melodrama, Pierce Brosnan, Carey Mulligan, Johnny Simmons and, especially, Susan Sarandon make the film looks like it might just work better than expected.

Oscar Prospects:

An April release usually means doom for these kinds of dramas and I wouldn't doubt if it ends up ignored, but Susan Sarandon has seldom been closer to consideration than this since her win for Dead Man Walking 15 yeras ago.

Release Date:

• April 2, 2010
