As an adoptee I wanted to love this movie but it was just bad despite the inclusion of some otherwise good actors. The plot was just thin & containing little substance or passion.
It's like a child's story outline that never goes any deeper than the outline itself but includes the popular tropes of an adoptee wanting more information about themselves, the closeted gay best friend that everyone but the best friend knows is gay, the "famed" (per the synopsis, investigator who is the only one who can help, the dishonest security guard who accepts a pbribe to grant access to official records, etc ad nauseum.
The whole thing builds, but not really, to a predictable ending that elicited nothing more than irritation at having not changed channels when it first started.
