Negative Positive
Title: It has been done better.
Review: This is a pretty familiar tale of a father who has his previously unknown child dumped on him by a long-forgotten one night stand. The story is both predictable and somewhat boring, but the worst part is the music. It's not really terrible, but it's very simple and some of it was obviously written for the Breslin girl, who is obviously not a musician in any way. That said, the ACTING in this movie is pretty good. Abigail Breslin, especially does a great job in that department. After all, she is an actress, so that's what she does. However, when they were casting the part, it might have been better to put someone in the role who actually had some musical background, as well. There are some very good acting performances by several of the supporting players, too. Unfortunately, even really good acting can't raise the level of the poor material enough to make it very interesting.
