I have no defense as to why I saw this film. We'll just call it my love of Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah. This is one of those films that couldn't decide where it wanted to fall, or what audience it wanted to attract. It would be a family drama one second, and a teen romance the next. Follow that with a preachy spiritual film, with just a little absurd comedy just to spice things up. There are moments, however brief they may be, of great wit in this film. They just happened to be so spaced apart that it's hard to sit through the rest to get to them. The writing is never consistent enough to make this film enjoyable, but I did have a good time laughing at some of the things that people too talented for this film were forced to say.
