I watched this movie in mid-afternoon on my day off, and I have to say this a very typical daytime tv type movie.
The film has its good parts and its bad parts - there is some very good acting from Christine Lahti and Jeffrey Sams, which is unfortunately offset by a script which ranges somewhere between embarrassing and just plain bad. Similarly, some excellent camerawork and direction is negated by the fact that the story lacks any originality and some of the characters are so badly drawn they almost reinforce the stereotypes that the film wants to challenge.
This is definitely a film that one should not approach with high expectations, although there is some enjoyment to be had from switching the sound off and simply enjoying the scenery.
Oh and by the way (SPOILER!!) the final courtroom scene is farcical.
