My summary is correct, This drama of a man whose wife was killed in Irag & the trip he takes to a Disney like theme park with his 2 daughters ( aged 8 1/2 & 12 1/2) before he tells them of their Mothers dying. This is a long trip from Ill. to Fla. is way too long .it becomes a big bore.
To me there are some very unrealistic scenes. One is a side trip to his boyhood home.Mom ain't there but slovenly brother is, & they seem mismatched.
John Cuscak is the father, He really cant do wrong in a role, but here he does not have good direction. The 2 daughters are good,But here is an inconsistency. They go to a store in a mall to buy clothes. The girls buy dresses (one for each)& they wear them to the Theme Park. Since when in this day & age do pre-teen girls wear dresses to a theme park.,There was no scenes of them squabbling about the purchase. An other thing on the theme park, they seemed to be the only ones there.(yes there were other on the rides with them, But these looked like stock shots, One more item in the various large motels they stayed,you saw hardly anyone else but them.
This was not a very well thought-out production.
Nice scenery & that is about it.
