This was pretty silly. More like an after school special than a movie for adults, complete with greeting card moral/message.
That being said it was beautifully shot...mostly during magic hour...and as a contemporary fairy tale it wasn't bad. It required a huge suspension of disbelief but once granted it was fun watching it unravel. There were even some minor surprises but, of course, it dutifully marched (lurched?) to a happy ending, just not in a straight line. Billy Bob(is that really his name?) gave the film an air of solidity which made it work.
Included a product placement ad that was as glaring as any I've ever seen. Loved seeing Richard Edson in a small role.
