I was quite disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2007)

After all of the hubabaloo about this movie I expected a lot more.
We couldn't see it at a theatre as it was only limited release here in Ontario Canada. We have no theatre in our town of 6,000. It didn't come to any of the towns a half hour drive north, east or south of us, nor did it come to the city an hour's drive north of us. We didn't want to drive on winter highways two or more hours to see it, but were quite disappointed not to see it on the big screen.
That is until we rented it days after it was released. We'd read such great reviews and heard from relatives who had seen it that it stuck with them long after they saw it. So we anxiously put it in the DVD player and then spent the entire time waiting for something awesome that never came.
It was an OK movie, don't get me wrong, but there was nothing special about it. What you saw in the previews was what you got. No deep meaning, no twists - just predictability. Maybe our hopes were too high, I don't know.
It's not a total waste of time, but not a fabulous movie either. Wait until it comes on the movie channel - I wish we had.
