...boring are its characters. First-time film director Jason Alexander (yes, George from "Seinfeld") clearly loves his actors and the characters they portray. Every character, from Lenny to the old Italian assistant at the grocery store, is vivid and sharply delineated and the performances are sensitive and compelling.

For Sam (Ryan Merriman) was happy with the folks he thought were his parents. And now that he's back "home," getting bear-hugged by strangers, he wants to return to the loving man who adopted him; the boy feels he's been kidnapped twice. But really it's Beth who vanished, from herself and her family. She was the ghost, sleepwalking for years, reminding everyone that the odor...
