Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2004)

I saw this at the "drive-in" preview in Rockefeller Center on June 8th.
Natalie Portman and Ian Holm give great performances.
It's a beautifully shot movie, funny and serious, but a bit corny and trite when it's trying to be deep...
The framing of certain scenes make for some stunning shots, and you can see most of those shots in the teaser and trailer. (Note the MRI graffiti.)
Yes, there's a lot of silent humor similar to jokes from "Scrubs", and an attempt at drama when the main character "awakens" over a long weekend. If places as weird as those shown in the movie actually exist in New Jersey, then I've never actually been to the place! A bit corny at times, but still worth the wait...
