But Pollack and his team do come up with a more logical line of action and give the hero and his wife (Jeanne Tripplehorn) a smidgen of self-awareness. (The sexy, skeptical Tripplehorn handles the challenge far better than Cruise does.) And they soup up the sidecharacters.
But, this gives it plenty of room for not only a full QWERTY layout but even a row of number keys that can be swiped from one side to the other, exposing a row of special characters or a row of other common buttons.
The characters are contentious, and both try to persuade the audience to take their side, when they're not arguing and getting on each other's nerves in the way that only family can.
