Sometimes the theater chains will slip a film into release and I miss the memo. The Impossible is one of those.

Naomi Watts got a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for her work. She's hit or miss and so is this based-on-a-true-story movie about a family trying to find each other after a devastating tsunami hit Thailand in 2004.

Sometimes The Impossible will have you close to tears, and at other times you'll be yawning.
