Reviews

Rotten

This father-son melodrama is well acted, but it's too solemn and too concerned with being inspirational

Common Sense Media

Uneven but moving story of reconcilliation.

When it's not veering into cheesiness, this well-acted tale of redemption has some affecting scenes and moments of genuine drama.
