I wanted to love this

Rating: 6/10 (20 February 2004)

I really wanted to love this film. As it was, it was alright, but it could have been much better. First of all, there was some serious acting issues in the film. Ashton wasn't so bad, but other parts of the cast, like his mom, really was. The story was cool, but there were some really forced plot points in the beginning, and in the very end which hurts the film. It seems to me that the makers had this great idea, and knew in general what they wanted to do, but needed a quick way out because they just couldn't figure out what else to do. All of the plot problems could have easily been solved though with just a little reworking. No other real major complaints, and fairly enjoyable.
