Awful

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 2007)

Are you serious? I wonder why this stupid movie has made even a penny. This movie would have been a thousand times better without the stupid teenage lust fest. It was not my turn to pick the movie, and I had no curiosity to see "Rear Window Jr." and boy I wish I listened to the inner voice!
There seems to be an alarming trend that I call "through the eyes of a teenage boy vision" You think from the way the director ordered so many shots of the teenage girl, that he had some crush on her! How about making a suspenseful movie that appeals to everyone, and not just males who have just exited puberty? Great job alienating your "broad" audience.
WAAAAAY too many shots of the "hot" girl next door doing Yoga, slow-mo swimming, sun bathing, and your teenage angsty stuff. I like Shia, he was great in "Holes", I even liked his cameo in "I, Robot." Poor David Morse, he's a tremendous actor, but given NOTHING to do here. What a waste of Carrie Ann Moss! There are a couple of "shock" moments, but they appear and leave in the first 5 minutes of the film, after that, the teenage love puppy story sprinkled with tepid moments of "tension". This is a predictable, silly, unrealistic and awful movie. To quote another IMDb user.."why would someone who was so calculated and precise just start sloppily and obviously killing neighbor's?" Couldn't wait to leave, Giving a generous 2 stars for my respect of Mr. Morse and Ms. Moss, Shia, shame on you for being in a mess like this, you're much better.
