Negative Positive
Title: Misguided
Review: Did you ever see a movie based on a book you really liked only to be disappointed by the lack of depth and how the movie seems to "breeze" thru the really juicy parts? Well, somehow, this movie achieved the same effect by being based on another movie! It's an interesting decision to make a comedy out of a 70's sci-fi\horror flick, and for that i give kudos - but, the result is a movie that has no idea if or how it should be funny OR tense, and thus achieves neither. I actually thought Kidman did a good job with what she had to work with, but Midler and Broderick are weak, and Close is downright awful in her "big" scene. Unless you're a die-hard Kidman fan, I don't think you should bother with this one, it leaves you empty and wondering what the whole big idea was.
Is the review positive or negative?
