I rented this movie at BlockBuster since I do love Gena Rowlands. It seems she always has to play the dying grandmother types. The story was very choppy and there was too much of the film spent showing how the lead boy, Charlie, is misguided and not nearly enough showing how he becomes close with Gena. In addition, Kevin Zegers did not shine as an actor. As matter of fact, Zegers, the man who played his father and the woman who played his mother were pretty dreadful and lacked Gravitas. So that detracted from the movie quite a bit. Overall it felt very amateurish. The men who played Gena's sons were wonderful however! They really were quite touching. Overall, I gave it 4 of 10 stars.
