Gifted

While there are glimpses of subtlety within this film, it is all together too slight and surface-level. It is a light-hearted bit of sentimental fluff that fans of Evans will enjoy and there is even a bonus one-eyed cat.

Te concept of the new film from director Marc Webb seems deceptively simple, but as Tom Flynn's deft screenplay (plucked from the 2014 blacklist) scratches the surface, things get complicated and often painful.

Gifted remains breezy and adorable for the bulk of its runtime.

Let's face it. We need the occasional, charming, albeit imperfect tearjerker that ends well, don't we?

The courtroom scenes are uninspired and boring.
