This movie careens from one tug at your heartstrings storyline to another, over and over, literally one after another after another. One teen suffering from trauma, one from a lifetime of foster homes who desparetely wants to find her real mother. There are health issues - mental and physical - and, of course there's the requisite love story as the relationship between Mia and Kyle develops over the course of their sudden trip to Spain (yes, this also manages along the way to become a sort of "road trip" movie.)
The story is cliche. You pretty much know where it's going from the moment it starts. Sure there are a few detours and sudden turns along the way, but the basic direction is set out very early and it's just a matter of how the movie is going to get to its inevitable destination. There's no real standout performance in this. Virginia Gardner is likeable enough as Mia, and Alex Aiono does a decent enough job of gradually turning the brooding and traumatized Kyle into a softer version of himself. There's just honestly not enough meat to make this worthwhile watching. (3/10)
