Boring and Clichéd

Rating: 1/10 (11 April 2008)

This movie was gawd-awful. The story is super predictable all the way. There are plot holes the size of aircraft carrier, plus a villain who acts in a fashion completely lacking in sense. You've seen the concept before, the pleasant neighborhood with the nice neighbors, and that one quiet guy that keeps to himself but seems so nice.....well maybe he's a deranged serial killer....maybe not. And as things transpire, his behavior makes little sense.
Shia Lebouf, who stars as a young geekster who through bad luck is forced to spend his summer under house arrest via an electronic shackle. Of course, a beautiful but troubled girl moves in next door. Will she go geek, or hang with the cool crowd? Will the neighborhood maybe-psycho-killer turn on her? What about Mom? What about our harmless politically correct ethnic minority geek buddy jokester? Lebouf is an annoying one dimensional actor whose success eludes me. Neither handsome, masculine or talented his annoying presence in this bore-fest does not bode well for Indy Jones 4.
Don't wait your time with this crap.
