an odd mix

Warning: Spoilers
Ummm.... I really don't know what to say about this movie. As a whole it just does not seem to work very well. There are individual ideas that are alright. The story does not seem to move in a logical direction. It's just such an odd combination.

*****Spoiler Alert!!!**** A little girl who is running away from her abusive step father to be. She wants to see the ocean. Then some odd content about poaching, racism, and abuse that just seems "tacked on". These are very serious issues, but they aren't examined seriously or in any great detail.

Maybe the director was trying to say too much...Also I can't imagine who the intended audience is. The more serious content would probably scare or confuse little children.

There was some good acting. I thought the daughter was good because you couldn't help but feel sorry for her. And she's pretty without being too Hollywood fake pretty.
