Watch it w.o knowing anything
Thankfully I tend to go to the movies and just pick anything, as long as it's not a trash action film. This was one of those picks. I did have expectations but they were quite low because 1-I didn't know what the movie was about and 2-I don't quite care for the Sam (I can't remember her name) actress (yet). This is only the second movie I see with them as the lead and was fully ready to just be blah by this movie too (shiva baby). This actress is just a smidge more emotionally capable slight range in speech and facial expression than Kristen S. I like dry actors but this ever so slight expression unsettles me a bit (i dont know why:).
Anywho enough about that this movie starts out slow and not knowing what will happen or what the movie was about really helped stay focus. If I had known what the movie was about before hand I'd say this was boring but it really wasn't. Well it wasn't that boring it could have used better comedic lines. It picks up once you learn the father's occupation and sadly from that instant you know something horrid happened. I really wished they wouldn't show it but went on with the vagueness that explained but it wasn't to anxiety stricken that one couldn't bare it. It was needed, especially for the folk that probably wouldn't have guessed correctly.
Overall stop reading people's thoughts on something or watching ad trailers before watching a movie. It helps to know a rough premise and that's that.
