Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine47.6 - The B story that becomes the A story near the end, about rescuing the girl next door from her abusive step-father feels like another movie. And the tear-jerking twist in the middle, feels completely manipulative, yet effective, as I was balling my eyes out, but still, even for me, I think this movie tried for too many tones in one flick.
