There are a few touching or darkly humorous scenes in Vann's quest to be the quintessential son, employee and sweetheart. But alas, they are lost among an irritating and unnecessary interrogation that takes place between our hero...
...Berkeley trying to shed her teenybopper image in Showgirls? Neither do I. Staying with what you know can be an extraordinary move, actually). Yet this movie, even (or dare I say especially?) in its clichd nature, pushes that cute little button that makes us all instantly comforted by the tender orderliness of a happy ending...
