Apology . . . enough?

The way he blasted Randy would have done permanent damage to any kid's psyche.

It's one thing to discourage some kid he sees one time after a game, but Randy is someone he has an ongoing relationship with as his potential new stepson. He's just spent the last few days making a point of building him up and preparing him to face his performance, so roasting his self-confidence like this is significantly more damaging.

There's no way an apology . . . as sincere and genuine as it was . . . could mend the damage that was done.

What do you think?

Agreed.

A normal mom would have been creeped out by Derek dressing up like that "for Tess," and would have been super angry that he ever spoke to her son like that.

I couldn't get how she is furious with him, breaks up and says never to speak to them again... then a couple hours later she's agreeing to MARRY him. He was a fairly ordinary boyfriend even before from what I can tell.
Women huh. Crazy!

Ashley Judd only plays characters that make terrible decisions.

Give it a break.

It's not supposed to be taken seriously.

This is LITE drama, with no calories, made of plastic and consisting of artificial ingredients. Don't look too closely at anything or you'll see that it's made of papier mache and held together with wire.

This is what we get in today's world for entertainment that poses as drama. It is necessary, according to the formula they use, for the romantic leads to have a serious falling out which will plunge the protagonist into the depths of despair only to all get magically fixed by the denouement.

I feel like he should have hurt the kid worse, maybe punched him or bodycheckled him to make his tooth come out cuz he's the tooth fairy so it makes sense and the kid would learn like a metaphor that sometimes you get your tooth hitted out and then maybe after they could both smile at eachother only now they both miss a tooth so their smiles are funny and its a happy ending to the movie even though he did child abuse cuz they are friends now and it looks funny and sometimes you fight your friend but then you are friends later and you say 'remember we fought' and its the good old dayscuz what is truly important if family.

I think it's okay for Mike to forgive Derek because that's what being a part of a family is all about. It's like that scene in the movie Doom when Samantha realizes she can trust John enough to inject him with C24.

omg your totally right it's also like that scene in Faster when The Rock gets his car back cuz it's like, they are back together cuz bygones are bygones or in the game plan when the girl bedazzles his football but the he realizes its just cuz she cares and wants it to be beautiful

Actually, I think there is no apology that is worthy enough for this crappy movie. Even if all of the big stars in would make a 5-10 minute video apologizing for this corny and insipid waste of time, it would not be enough. As for the child, kids are tougher than we think. One isolated case is not going to ruin a child forever. Repeated barrages of insults, etc. would be a different story. I mean no disrespect by my first couple of sentences as I was just teasing a bit. If you liked this movie then I am happy for you. I did not care for it at all. It is a family movie to be sure but it is cliched all the way through and that takes away from my enjoyment of it. Notice I am not spewing venomous hatred to you like some do on this site. I was just giving you a little tease is all. Hope you take this as it is intended as fun. Other than that have a great day. Respectfully, [email protected]

This is basically my reasoning for rating it low. Did not agree with this part of the movie. Just horrible.
