A wonderful little film! While at times conventional and predictable, this movie pulls together through good writing and convincing acting. Director Rose really knew how to get the performances that she needed from her two young stars, and Elizabeth Perkins really delivers as the charming and off-beat loving mother. While Bakula seems a bit stiff, he still comes across as the lovable husband/step-father who explores what it means to love and to care in the light of his step-daughters. The film also sparks good conversation starters for families with daughters that are at the age of maturity. If faith in God had been developed as one of the family’s critical resources, the film would be even better.
