There is no gratuitous sex, violence, nudity or foul language. On that front it is refreshing. However there are plenty of problems. This is a relatively low budget production. Camera work and lighting is pretty basic. The biggest problem is the script, while the premise is believable, there are so many nonsensical moments at times it is cringeworthy. The acting during the alligator scene was so bad we almost turned it off. I would expect this kind of work for kids Disney show. For the most part the acting is okay, the two leads are good, the rest are so-so. The soundtrack sounds canned and cheap. I've seen a lot worse movies, but we did watch the whole thing.

Such a fun movie that reminds us of what's really important in life.

I really enjoyed this film. It has all the elements of wholesomeness that I look for in a film. A good story, funny moments, and wonderful relationship coaching.

I was especially impressed by the character development and the depth of the performances. Not only was the film entertaining, but it left me with thoughtful takeaways to ponder. Definitely a must-watch for anyone seeking a heartwarming and insightful cinematic experience.

Additionally, the film's attention to detail in both setting and dialogue made it feel authentic and relatable. From start to finish, this film is a testament to the art of storytelling and a shining example of cinematic excellence. Highly recommended for those who cherish films that touch the heart and stimulate the mind.

I had hoped, as the description indicates, this would be a moving family film with an inspiring message central to a family road trip (e.g. exploring the mother-daughter dynamic)...and it did!

Though it fell light on content, I did "feel" something--anger, humor, relief.

What pleased me most was that a captivating film was made devoid of sexual encounters, obscene language and offensive gimmicks to lure viewers. An enjoyable movie can be made without those features! Bravo!

This is a soft, gentle film. The main reason I watched it was to see Pamela Reed and Shawnee Smith, two talented and fine actresses. They mesh well together in this family centered story about a recently widowed senior citizen (Pamela Reed) moving on the the next phase of her life; widowhood and advanced age. Accompanying her on the road trip to her "independant living facility, is her daughter-in-law (Shawnee Smith). Antics ensue. It might be a bit slow and gentle for some, but I enjoyed the multi-generational family dynamic. Plus I'm partial to road trip movies. The writing could have been better; given the actors something to work with.
