Could have been so much more

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2009)

I was left frustrated by this movie as it had all the ingredients to be something special but failed to deliver it's potential.
To be brutally honest, I think the missing ingredient was someone the likes of Joss Whedon who knows how to script teenage dialogue. As it was, some of the scenes, especially between the two lead actors were quite painful to watch.
It has many redeeming qualities that bring the film into the category of something worth watching on a rainy Sunday afternoon but I can't help but feel that it could have been so much more with the right person to bring everything together.
