Great movie makes you wonder who should get the boy & the father daughter bond is sweet but the age gap makes some scenes uncomfortable

Witherspoon's performance (& the 1st act) is so good it makes up for the melodramatic plotline that edges toward 'Lifetime Movie' territory

I looked at it as a tragedy drama film as it tells a story of how life is always gonna get harder as you grow.

A decent coming-of-age story that overplays its hand. Reese Witherspoon is pretty good, but the script dives into forced melodrama.

Very good coming of age movie that has such an awakening. This is a good movie to watch and Reese Witherspoon is great
