How many stories like this have we seen so far: mother (Renee Zelweger) finds out that her husband (Kevin Bacon) is cheating on her and leaves him. Obviously, the children go with her. She thinks she will be able to go to another town nearby and find herself a new husband, wealthy enough to sustain the family. Travelling from city to city, and as many things happen to them, she cannot find anyone to 'sign the deal.' The further away they go from NY, the more the mother learns about her family and herself.

Very conventional, this is a road film where the family is moving from one coast to the other (NY to LA). The story is being told from the point of view of the youngest son. As the narrator, he tells us what he thinks about his mother, family relations, the trip, etc.

A good family/drama movie. But only good.

5/10*.

Movie is not bad, oh no. World is just filled up with them. I think that watching another titanic disaster in a movie after the great James Cameron "Titanic" is just boring. And those true shots from SOS... Not attracting.

But, fortunately, the movie is not only about the titanic disaster. All the story bases on it because parents of four children and one of the children's fiancé died there. Now they have to face the adulthood. Ex-fiancée, as the eldest child, tries to be the parent for her brothers and sister. She has to face the adversities and forget about the only man she ever loved. Others are waiting for her almost at the doorstep ;)

I enjoyed the movie a lot. Especially when I saw the young Hayden Christensen, who played Teddy. (He was so cute!) Pleasant to watch.

Although I say the movie it's not worth watching, I give it a note 4/10. Why? Because of the beautiful music and the colours which you can see only in the east. The movie can also change a bit our thinking about those countries. They too have computers, internet, mobiles and dress nice ;)

And now. Was it supposed to be funny? It was piteous. Pride and Prejudice is not a funny story and the movie wasn't quite a musical. However, you could see that they wanted to add something like that. Singing scenes are the most funny of all.

What you could feel the most was the love between the main characters. I could feel my nails hurt because I was so into the love story! But all those parts just don't fit! Musical + comedy + romance? Definitely NO!
