Most interesting thing in the film?


Did anyone else think it strange the difference in age between Blake and his sister Katie. In real life Blake was about forty and the kid can't be more than about ten. That's one mighty big gap!

Not only was it strange...but it was definitely an insult to the viewing
public's intelligence!

I do know that some older women, say 40 to 50, and maybe even a little
bit older, may be capable of conception and giving birth;
but this was ridiculous!

They should have maybe let the little girl be his daughter from
a previous marriage, with the mother possibly passing away, thus
justifying that utterly ridiculous wait to marry
his current girlfriend/fiance.

Him putting off getting married for so long could have been justified
by having lost his first wife due to death.

That mother looked like the little girl's grandmother......
JUST DUMB AND NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT BY THE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR!

When I'm 26, my younger sister will be 1, I don't think it's that far fetched.
