So asides from the jab with the summary title for this movie, I was seriously disappointed. Considering the subject matter, this movie was light and had some spotty acting. Nobody hear really elevates their resume, especially Susan Surandon who becomes the comic relief un-wittingly. I think the special effects overshadowed the dark subject matter, and the movie lacks a heart. Sure it has sappy moments, but they are contrived and lack the weight the subject matter carries. It feels pretty fluffy considering a young girl is murdered by an older creepy man. What I thought was going to be the movie of the decade did not even manage to be the movie of the day. *sad face A great story is behind this movie, unfortunately, this movie does not tell it. This movie lacks a soul and a movie about what happens with a family grieving for a lost one should have nothing but soul.
