It's not a bad film. But it's not really about Jennifer Conley's character, and she has minimal exposure in the film. So, meh, 3 stars.

Good movie. Wasn't the best movie ever but worth watching. All the characters political views seem to be the foundation for the basis of this movie.sad and hopeful not to mention politically controversial.
