I think Hartnet did an amazing job! I thought he could only do romantic comedies. Can't and do not believe bad reviews at all. Hartnet proved he is a fine dramatic actor and I am NOT easy to impress. Add to that Hayley Mills I watched as Pollyanna and The Parent Trap as I was growing up. The only thing that would have added to the script would have been Cooper working as a fireman and maybe also doing some minor improvements to the home. Also, I have NEVER written a review of a movie before.
