- Sensibility: Painfully corny, over-dramatic dialogue for characters that are so far out of the realm of reality that it becomes bothersome to watch.
- Cinematography: The low light of this film is it's editing. Many scenes are edited so poorly that the quick back and forth dialogue feels choppy. Camera work is lackluster and there are a few shots that are irritatingly uncentered. Costuming, hair, and production design are all simple and unremarkable.
- Energy: Artificial dialogue, characters, and scene choreography make some of this film hard to watch. Music and score choices are also so poor that they cheapen the film during moments of high drama, giving it a kind of hallmark movie feel.
- Narrative: Some moments of salient character and dialogue writing that is let down by a constant burden for the verbal equivalent of slapstick. The characters are very complicated but in such a linear, one-dimensional way that there is no character progression in the film almost at all. The husband character is so lacking in narrative focus and direction that he comes off as little more than a plot device.
- T-Points: The film receieved no bonus points.
Huge disappointment. The film has a hallmark movie feel visually and dialogue writing that would be better read than performed the way they are. Character writing is so weak that nearly every element of the film dealing with
a character other than Ella feels irrelevant and far-fetched.
