Corny, Melodramatic, and Cliche

Take every sad plot point and character background you have ever seen in a drama. With every plot point, assume the screenwriter is doing this solely to make a tearjerker. Predict how said plot point could be a tearjerker. 99% chance you got it right. Even the music score felt rehashed.

The whole thing also stinks as if something fishy went down with the production of it. As if in order to make it palatable to a wider audience they clipped out every perceptible gay romance scene or the actors refused that aspect of the storyline so it was omitted. In turn, it meant we ended up with this incomprehensible bromance. Seriously, whatever they are is never explored. Once. Just a couple of best buddies for life, apparently.

The only saving grace was the acting. They did a great job with the dreary script they were presented with. Maybe they have some better projects you could spend your time on? But do not waste precious hours with this.
