Top Critics Reviews

It appears to have been cobbled together from all the story lines the network sponsors wouldn't approve.

A generic, below-par chick flick.

The filmmakers have crafted a motion picture that should appeal to members of both sexes.

rotten:
The scenes feel forced, producing episodic plotting and calling attention to the characters' superficiality.

rotten:
Not possessing much in the way of a character arc, saints are boring to watch and impossible to act.
