As useless and overrated as Adam Sandler's career

Rating: 1/10 (11 April 2009)

I've seen some really awful and brain-dead films but this one's phenomenal. Starting with an unclear but intriguing premise, it ends up veering off into a cheap Disney ride for bad acting and clichÃ©s. Not only was this done a million times before in some form or another but even the worst of them were better than this high school home-ec project that, shockingly, didn't end the careers of more people. Only Juliette Lewis, who is the most talented of the bunch, disappeared into oblivion. For anyone who thinks this is anything more than a poor Sci-Fi channel after-school special, you seriously need to get more out of life than collecting your navel lint or trawling Facebook. Not surprisingly, the last shot of this painful waste of talent is the cheesiest looking, painted matte-shot created since "Earthquake" where Ava Gardner and her career drowned simultaneously. I'm thinking of suing Netflix for offering this DVD.
