Hope Davis and David Duchovny give solid, moving performances as grieving parents in this inspirational heart-tugger.

"Louder Than Words" goes out of its way, and almost takes pride in, eschewing actual heartfelt emotions-so much so that, by the end, it is hard to even care.

Is this story compelling? Will it keep your attention for its 95-minute running time? Is it worth the ticket price? Sadly, the answer is: not quite.
