The premise of this movie is Kevin Costner has primary custody
over his granddaughter after his daughter dies during child birth. A family custody battle ensues when his wife
dies and the other grandmother decides she has more to offer the girl now that
it’s just the grandpa. I know this movie
was trying to make a statement about race and color, (the girl is half white
and half black), but I think it should’ve made sure we were attached to the
characters first! Because of the lack of
character development, the story gets all muddled. There were a lot of clichéd characters in the
movie and it seemed almost suffocating
at times when the crux of the story was about race when in fact, the storyline
of two grandparents who loved the child and wanted only what was best for her would’ve made it more compelling and heart
felt.
