Title: Laughable If It Wasn't So Sad
Review: What is sad is that so many talented people have joined forces to produce a movie that is so utterly awful. Full of phony spiritual New Age nonsense, and serious to the point of solemnity, which only underlines how utterly empty the movie is. Clearly, everyone concerned thought that this was a Serious Movie. How wrong they were.Starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McCan'tAct, who are supposed to be carrying a torch for each other, but who demonstrate such an appalling lack of chemistry they don't even seem to have been introduced, much less lovers.Still, John Hurt makes the most of his few moments onscreen, but he just can't save a movie that sinks under the weight of its own High Serious Significance.
