Saw a preview of this a couple of weeks back. I liked it, but honestly, it's pretty saccharine and sappy, just an afternoon TV movie with a bigger budget. There was very little tension, and everyone got whatever they wanted (I mean, those scenes between Leigh Anne and Sean were pointless, he just said 'yes' to her over everything!)
And as for SB getting the Oscar, well that's ridiculous. At what point did she get her teeth into anything? Her character had far less range than, say, Annie in Speed!
As I said, I didn't dislike this film, but I just can't believe the massive praise it's getting.
