From the first second Gabrielle Anwar's character is the witch I see in too many manipulative legal matters designed to keep children away from loving fathers. Absolutely and completely no redeeming factors. From from the first scene she is trying to force a sensitive child to paint between the lines - as if it mattered at that age and frankly a thinner brush was needed for most people.
Chace Crawford was very charming but the emotional range of his character in the film is very limited. I hope he is capable of more as he has the looks to go far.
Craig Eric Sheffer was appropriately brooding as a disaffected Navy dad who felt pinned in a corner by his lawyer wife. Far more relatable of the two parents and definitely the best to bring up a sensitive child. I shudder to think how 'Mommy Dearest' would have ripped him apart with her controlling bitter ways. She doesn't even tell him the truth when she hires the boat.
