 2.5/4 |
...ultimately establishes itself as an affable endeavor that benefits substantially from the charismatic work of its two leads. Full Review |

 1/5 |
Achieves the holy trinity of painful earnestness, combining cute animals, sick teenagers and an idealistic belief in love and goodness that's actually deceptively judgmental. Full Review |

2/5 |
Written, directed, acted-in and produced by Parise, she's proven her creds as a one-woman employment agent. But, by now, she should be picking up that directing is a weak spot. Full Review |

Blind to the fact that it should be rising up against its own formulaic kind. Full Review |

Parise no doubt intends the pic's attention to the disease -- plus animal adoption and fair trade coffee -- to be socially enlightening, but it feels suspiciously like sympathy-mongering. Full Review |

1/5 |
Considering the talent assembled, the only audience draw here is the prospect of getting out of the rain. Full Review |
