"viewed: March 20, 2013 I don't know, but the movie seemed a little boring and not very exciting. Even though the tragedy of a little girl, somehow I didn't feel her pain. And this song... annoying.

“"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time. You ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine."
