Matt decided to sell the family land due to some new rules. just before they family members were able to finalize the deal, a boating accident happened and his wife, Elizabeth became comatose. they had 2 daughters together, 17-year-old Alex and 10-year-old Scottie. while they were usually taken cared by Elizabeth, Matt found himself struggling with Alex's behavior and Scottie's language. when Matt learned that Elizabeth will never wake from her coma, he had to decide what to do with their daughters and the family land.
the storyline was predictable, but not wholly bad. Matt's 2 daughters managed to make the movie less boring and more exciting in many ways, especially if compared to the land issue. it was easy to expect more, having a huge star like George Clooney in it, but with that expectancy came disappointment. character development was average, i had grew more and more attached to the daughters and wanted more. unfortunately, the dramatic event that turned everything around never seemed to arrive.
