Unfortunately the direction and script is very weak/ lifetime quality. The movie was painful to get through, and scenes without Lisa are uninteresting and dull. The character arc of David is pathetically poor, full of clichà (C) and pointlessness. The dialogue between David and Lisa is awkward, but both actors seemed to be convincing enough, especially Brittany.
