This was utter, utter ...(bull). I rented this movie and I would have baseball batted this piece of ...(bull) across my backyard but, I didn't want to have to pay for it. Wasn't even worth the $4 I spent renting it. It's shallow attempt at sentimentality was just mindbogglingly stupid. I actually regret renting this and wasting those fleeting moments of my life on it.
