As much as it pains me I can’t but rate this as is, and it all boils down to momentum.
In broad strokes, the story is about, Reagan, a woman with many secrets, who decides to run away from Paris and from her hubby, Julien. In tow is their brand spanking newborn. Well, Reagan, you see, discovered that Julien was not who he portrayed himself to be and not only that, she also had information that linked him and his family to terrorists activities.
She heads back to the US and lands in her New Hampshire hometown, where she immediately reacquaints with, Brady, her high school BF and first love. At this point, Julien had discovered her disappearance, and knowing she can’t ever leave and most certainly not with his son, he embarks on a retrieval mission. What he doesn’t know is that most, if not all, of Reagan’s backstory had been no more than carefully orchestrated lies which makes finding her near on impossible.
All of the above transpired before the halfway mark, however, and sadly, the story then sputtered into redundancy; with the subsequent 40% revolving around a permanently tearful/crying Reagan, a fearful and inept Brady, and a hungry baby. Between feeding the baby and the crying by Reagan and the lukewarm pseudo love connection with Rea and Brady, the story never gains any meaningful arc.
Eventually, and only at the very end, we glimpse a rather lackluster resolution to the conflict, all wrapped up in a deus ex machina bow. Overall, quite underwhelming.
