★ 3/10
This film is hallmark to its own fault falling into trope after trope with predictability being the overwhelming storyline, characters are introduced (such as Delilah) for purpose of having characters and a proposed character development is hinted but then axed during the 'climax' in favour of the clumsy handling of family tragedy, it creates a 80 minute film of 1 storyline and one couple character arc. I would have liked to have the side characters (such as Delilah) to have a more prevalent role in the storyline rather than background characters serving to a dense experience. Overall, the movie was a time filler, hallmark convention that was clearly targeted at the demographic, and not cinéphiles.
