How sad is this?

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is so bad, but not bad enough to be an awful classic, loved for it assertive ineptness combined with lack of shame. Totally wooden acting and dialog. A snorer. Tough talk is totally wimpy. Characters interactions are theoretic, but not real. Tones of voice are right out of the worst soap operas. If you want a catalog of clichés and dead phrases, take notes. This is not how people faces tough times talk. The sarcasm sounds Valley Girl. "Facile" is a word one of the characters uses. It's a good word for this production. Maybe the awful dialog would sound more engaging if the acting were better. But the acting is unbelievably bad.
