When I first read the plot-line for this film I was pretty excited to see it. The story sounded very interesting and original. So I finally got a chance to see it and boy was I disappointed. As soon as it started I got the feeling that I probably wouldn't enjoy the film, but I decided to just tough it out and give it a try, but they sure made that difficult. The entire thing just had this deep almost depressing dull feeling. I do understand that this is suppose to be a sad movie but there is a way of doing that without making it so dull, and this film failed at that big time. Every character is pretty much mono-toned and boring. I had trouble caring about the two main characters because they really had no personalities. Even the little girl just seemed like she only had one emotion threw the whole thing. It also doesn't help that this movie moves at an insanely slow pace. Things really don't pick up until about the last 15 minutes of the movie, and even then the dull feeling is still there. Like I said earlier, this movie did have an interesting and original story, but its like the writer took a great idea like that and just turned it into a typical *evil child* movie. There was so much more that could have been done with this movie and it really does upset me that it was so bad. I fought going to sleep threw this entire thing and it was not easy. I truly do regret watching the entire thing because it honestly wasn't worth it. The ending was absolutely stupid and the entire thing was just a waste. Skip this, you are not missing anything. This movie gets 2 stars based solely on the fact that it was a good idea, just a terrible execution.
