I once met Jimmy Stewart. And Shia LaBeouf is no Jimmy Stewart.

Rating: 4/10 (2 March 2008)

If you've never seen a movie made before 1980, then you will enjoy "Disturbia". An attractive cast and some very good performances, especially by David Morse, with a few genuine surprises makes this a tolerable Saturday night date movie.
If, however, you have seen "Rear Window" directed by Alfred Hitchkock starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly you will find this a shallow rip-off (it's now called a "re-imaginering"). There is an enormous amount of IQ lowering from the characters of the original movie to these current characters. The film is equal to a meal of cotton candy. You might enjoy the momentary sugar rush, but you're going to end up paying for it later.
It's not a bad movie, but why remake such a good film when you really don't have anything to add. Is Hollywood so bankrupt? See it if you want. It is, after all, your time and money. It's just that "Disturbia" proves the old adage that there is nothing new under the sun. If you're looking for something different...this ain't it.
