Stopped watching...

I stopped watching this film during the part when Ben Affleck is asking for marsh mallows in his coffee (I think) and he kept saying that "...it wasn't quite right...". The manner in which he was saying about it not being right and "...it still isn't right..." made me want to get that coffee, throw it in his face and then stomp on his head until nothing but a bloody heap remained. Needless to say (or write as the case maybe), this film didn't do it for me one iota!

Hovis!

I thought it was an enjoyable film. You left it pretty early? There was more about Drew that you find out later.

Coincidentally thats about where I stopped. It was on TV and I couldnt take any more. I thought The dad and mum were quite good characters and well acted but Affleck seemed way off, I havnt had a problem with his acting before but his attempt here was like amateur dramatics, over the top and a bit feeble.
Shame as I thought it could have been good.

Got ya beat. I stopped watching when Ben is at the airport accosting that family, and the TSA is demanding the girl put her teddy bear into the x-ray... my words: "This does not look promising."
