Terrible movie. Like if the kids loved their grandpa, why didn't they cry? Why did the scriptwriters made such a miserable ending too quick? This is just overrated or what i mean off your eyes.

I was really looking forward to this movie but it turned out to be just o.k. The story was alright to begin with but then just gets a little bit worse as it goes on. This movie fell victim to expectations built up by the previews.
