Best thing: The chocolate chip cookies I ate before it started
Worst Thing: Where do we start?
Review: We've just come back from seeing this movie and its really made us mad. The story is weak, the acting poor, especially from Zooey Deschanel (who was so good in "The Good Girl") and the dialogue lame. The characters were difficult to care about and there was no real sense of threat or danger. The story doesn't build to a satisfying conclusion and there's no explanation as to why the event happened. A cop out. We can't believe this is from the guy who gave us "The Sixth Sense." We're going to think very carefully about whether we want to see anything else he directs.
