RottenTomatoes Score: 31% (4.9 out of 10), with just a handful of reviews Box Office: Projections are slim for this one making more than $5 million of its $10 million budget back this weekend, and it certainly doesn't help that Costner isn't much of a draw these days. The family legal drama premise certainly reeks of maudlin awards bait, and while Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer's performances have been almost universally praised, critics also deem them wasted on a race relations drama that just plays it far too safe. Rather than dealing with race in an open and honest way, the movie is bogged down by sentiment and an overly simplified look at its ambiguous scenario.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
