A movie with one awkward identity crisis.

The screenplay by Kasdan is soggy with earnest cliches.

The film belongs to Brody, an endearing screen presence.

This potentially saccharine weepy has an authentic ring, thanks to Jon Kasdan's script and a cast capable of delivering clever lines that sound just about right for whatever situation they're in.
