You'll either love it or hate it...

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2009)

This one is pretty easy to scope out. It really is a movie aimed at the Forrest Gump, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption crowd. You know, where all mysteries and problems of life have simple and simplistic answers.
To be fair the concept is interesting, if not original, (The Once and Future King and Slaughterhouse Five come to mind) but can not sustain the film. There are few decent moments in the film and at times it seems to try for a magic realism that might have worked. However, the swell of the dramatic music and explicit narrator explanation of such moments show how well the filmmakers know their intended audience.
It's not my cup of tea but if you like Forrest Gump type of movies you will like this one.
