Title: A Heartwarmer
Review: This was one of the best movies my wife and I have seen for awhile. The casting director did an excellent job matching actors to their parts. Ben Affleck did a credible job as Ollie Trinke, a single father, after the death of his wife. Liv Taylor, who did a wonderful portrayal of the beautiful Arwen in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, successfully pulled of the impish Maya injected into the Trinke family. But the two actors who stole the show were George Carlin in his best part ever as Bert Trinke, the down to earth Ollie's father, and Raquel Castro as Ollie's beautiful daughter. She seemed a perfect match as a child who could have been conceived by the actors chosen as her parents. The movie could have been a family movie but there was too much profanity which my wife and I found distracting from the otherwise heart of the movie. For this I am giving it four stars instead of the five the story itself would have earned. This review is based on a rental DVD.
Is the review positive or negative?
