Thoughts:
Darn. I really wanted to like this movie. The trailer looked okay and because apparently it's a family tradition (I honestly don't remember this, is that bad?) to go to the movies on Christmas Day we did and saw this. What a mistake!
This movie was overly hyped. Now I see why. The movie is oh so boring! 2 hrs and 9 minutes of my life I shall never get back. It was pretty predictable too. Tons of things I saw coming from a mile away. It's somewhat entertaining but NOT worth the very expensive ticket. I highly recommend you guys rent this one and if you are already planning on going to the movies today watch Avatar, it's REALLY REALLY good! The story line is nothing incredible but the visuals are incredibly mind blowing. Watch that. I should review that soon...
I'm still glad I saw Jude Law's sexy self though ;)

Aww, that's sad that it didn't live up to the hype. I've been really excited to see this movie ever since I heard about the amazing casting... Guess I'll wait to Jude Law's smexiness.
And yes Avatar was awesomeness! CG eyecandy! :D
Hm with your review I would think this is a 2 star kind of movie :s
Ill be watching it though, maybe not in the movies but Ill watch it.
Taschima--
I gave it a 3 because I thought it was entertaining and okay. Worth at least renting. A 2 I would give to movies that suck and 1 would be movies I wish the budget was used for charity or non-profit organizations instead of being wasted on utter krud.
For a half comedy half mystery movie for teenagers and a "wink" to adult viewers is quite fine. I also enjoyed the most of Jude law of course :)
I like this movie, really awesome, cool!
