too fake

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2000)

Spoilers warning!!!
Ok. I saw this movie a few months ago, but it's now on t.v. so I thought I would leave a comment about it. When I first saw the movie, I didn't figure it out. the whole surprise that is, until the end. I have to admit, it's tricky that way...but besides that, the movie overall is fake, too fake to enjoy! I mean, come on...it takes Bruce this long to find out what's going on? How does he get into Cole's apartment and all with his mom if she can't see him??? You're trying to tell me he doesn't talk to one person in the entire movie besides Cole, and he never realizes anything is going on?? I just want to know how he get's into places if no one lets him in. Does he let himself in and sit with the mother, thinking she seems him the whole time? No way. The story had too many holes in it this way...you cannot end the movie and say to yourself, 'oh yea, that could happen.' I don't know which was made first, but Stir Of Echoes was released first, and this movie seems to be a rip off of it. If this one was written first, then I guess Stir of Echoes is a better version of the same type of movie. The acting is good, tho Bruce Willis isn't what you would call the best actor ever, the kid in the movie--who everyone rant and raves about is a good actor, but his character--oh man, you just want to kick him in the head he's so annoying.
I'd give the movie 5/10, it's somewhat enjoyable, but the plot holes are too constant to make you actually believe any of it.
