Title: Sappy
Product review: The main reason I wanted to see this film in the first place is because of double mother/daughter casting (Redgrave/Richardson and Streep family). More that anything, I wanted to see showdown of acting abilities by a younger generation. While Natasha Richardson knows her place in the film industry and deserves her place next to her mother, I cannot say the same for the younger Streep. As you can tell, I do not even recall her first name. Other than her mother's likeness, her acting is bland. The plot itself is slow moving and multi-layered plot that probably works well in the novel fails in the movie miserably. To be fair, if you liked "Notebook" and other similar movies from the same genre, you would like this one too. If it was not for the (female) talent of the casting in this feature, it would be hard worth mentioning it. Good to see only if you wish to satisfy your own curiousity about the cast.
