Good cast, but I had to stifle some laughs

Heavy on the melodramatic side, this movie is about a presumed dead soldier that turns up alive only to believe his brother has replaced him with his family. The three leads - Gyllenhaal, Portman, and Maguire - really give it their all and try hard but sadly there's too many moments where the movie either plays like a soap opera or a Lifetime movie. Plus, the lighting is terrible and for most of the movie I was squinting at the TV trying to make out what I was looking at because everything was so dark.
