An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a really nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, this movie provided, on one hand, one of the sweetest and saddest love stories I have ever seen and, on the other hand, a solid depiction of 2 parents losing their child with some strong performances by Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan. So, the material was pretty good but, unfortunately, Shana Feste, in her directing debut, never really managed to mix these 2 stories together. Indeed, for some reason, she basically forced these parents and this pregnant teenage girl to live together but it never worked. I mean, how are we supposed to believe that a high-school student really have no one to support her at all? It was never clearly explained throughout the whole thing and it felt really awkward. There was  also another sub-plot involving the younger brother falling in love with a girl but they should have dropped this story-line or further develop it. Finally, to make things worse, towards the end, everything seemed to be solved somehow and this happy ending was also rather hard to swallow. Anyway, to conclude, even though there was a lot of stuff that didn't work in this movie, it was still a decent drama though and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
