Review of Sedona (2011) by Ed C — 08 Sep 2013

Through a series of incidences of Murphy's Law, travelers get stuck together near Sedona, Arizona.

Tammy cannot get to her meeting: a plane lands on her car; the mechanic cannot get required parts; she locked herself out of her rental car. While waiting for her car to be fixed, she gets a pedicure from Beth, who asks her how her son is doing.

Scott's younger son gets lost. They are lucky enough to encounter a local search and rescue professional, who helps them look.

Tammy gets to revisit past wounds, and to get the opposite of prepared for her meeting.

Scott gets to find his younger son. So?

Tammy and Scott meet late in the show, and the matter of Tammy's child given up for adoption is resolved. Her meeting is lost.

Cinematography: 8/10 Amazingly good, except for outdoor closeups. Some of the exteriors seemed to be color-enhanced.

Sound: 6/10 Well done, except for the severely overblown musical nonsense toward the end of the film.

Acting: 7/10 Reasonable for the script, even including the child actors.

Screenplay: 6/10 Well-intended I suppose, but just not interesting and too heavy-handed.
