This movie was well done and had some wonderful actors, the acting was excellent but the story is ridiculous. I was able to get past most of the numerous flaws of the movie up until the get in the canoe. Once they arrived at the canoe the whole movie became nearly impossible to watch without wanting to start saying how things would never happen that way or this way. The whole movie is just too perfect in how things worked out for her. It was decent entertainment but not a very good movie. The only reason I rated the movie a 6 is because of the acting. The kids did an amazing job, way beyond their years. John Malkovich is legendary, Sandra Bullock did a very good job holding the story together as did everyone else. If you want a plausible movie, keep looking. If you just want entertainment then watch it and see what you think.
