Sometimes things do not go down the way we imagine them to go down. A visit or search for a person, can become an entirely different thing ... especially when mixed with eager police who may have good intentions, but ... well let's say are overreaching ... and that is putting it mildly ... as mildly as it gets.
The movie has its ups and downs, but lives off the performances mostly. Yes the script has good parts too of course - but without the actors to pull those off ... you wouldn't have much here. Especially considering certain weird points and twists this throws your way ... be it the very easy to spot Tim Allen character (I can't imagine anyone not guessing what is going on there) or the "fate" of Emilio Riveras character ... you may find it "shocking" ... no pun intended ... and then not so much. You'll understand after watching.
Good intentions can go way wrong ... and this movie almost seems to tell you to not be too good .. or maybe it tells you it does pay off ... again very weird, but also able to be entertaining if you let it. I had fun with it - even/despite its flaws ... still not sure why Jessica Alba had to be in the movie ... guess her being in it raised ... awareness and some funds towards making it happen.
