You guys must be kidding.....or intoxicated.

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2008)

I watched "The Orphanage" on the recommendation of my daughter. She thought it was a masterpiece. I didn't. As a matter of fact I'm gonna take her recommendations with a grain of salt from now on. I read all of the glowing reviews & thought to myself "What movie did they watch"? "The Orphanage" is a boring, stupid excuse for a ghost story that I watched in disbelief. Granted....It does have atmosphere(Hence the 2 star rating)But it has nothing else to recommend it. The actors were overwrought, The story was insipid & the ending was ridiculous. Who are these people who praised this film?? I had to watch "The Others" directly after this debacle just to get it's memory wiped from my brain. Don't be fooled by all the praise it's gotten, "The Orphanage" sucks. Plain & simple.
