Mmmhh... thanks, but no.

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2007)

Vacuous, pretentious and annoyingly predictable. You can tell how and when this movie is going to end looong before the end actually comes. What in the world possessed Marc Forster to direct this? Was he in such a big need to make another film to lose his marbles on such a purposeless story? I can hardly believe it's the same director who gave us 'Finding Neverland' and 'Monster's Ball'. Quite puzzling too are the awards and nominations this movie received.
To top it all, Will Ferrel just can't play dramatic roles... but is this a drama? I guess Marc Forster and Zach Helm just invented a new genre: the 'feelgood' artsy film. I only wish I'd spent fictitious money on it.
