For this movie to be profitable, managers are going to need to do in-house promotions. My top recommendation would be to sell pillows at the concession stand so people can enjoy the movie by sleeping through it.

Now I know why our booker dropped Wicker Park and made us hold onto Without a Paddle.

Yes, platitudinous. But I have a soft spot for movies like these. It was predictable from beginning to end. I did like the split screen approach during certain scenes. And how it evolved from flash backs into present day occurrences. But it was a little too drawn out, it could have been paced better to give the viewer more interest. Rather than feeling drowsy through the middle of it.

This movie pissed me off...I hate those near miss things where someone goes into an elevator and it closes and the other one opens with the person they are looking for.
