If you plan on watching this movie, skip the trailer as it contains a few spoilers.
I decided to watch this after seeing the reviews it was getting, luckily I hadn't watched the trailer. To me this was just ok. Overall it's a warming story and all the actors gave good performances, especially Justin Timberlake and the kid who plays 'Sam'.
However, the story along with Timberlake's character was slightly predictable and this isn't the type of movie that sticks with you that you remember for years to come.
While I enjoyed the relationship between the 2 main characters, there wasn't actually much drama between them or them having to overcome any obstacles / differences in their own relationship. Timberlake's character is pretty accepting of the boys character straight away, which isn't bad, but it doesn't provide any drama at all. Rather the drama for them comes from the rest of the world and this is what makes it predictable.
