Title: Not What It's Cracked Up To Be...
Review: I bought this after several of my friends raved about it and, knowing my taste in movies, recommended it to me highly.I shouldn't have believed the hype.One of the other reviewers wrote that they didn't understand why Kate Hudson's character's story was told. I couldn't agree more. There wasn't a thing interesting about her. Oh, she's a pretty, perky hospice worker who wasn't there for the death of her father. Oh, the irony... *yawn*Sure, it has a nice twist at the end, but 90% of it is pretty evident from the first 20 minutes of the movie. The other 10% is catchable if you pay attention through the movie rather than yawning and/or debating about turning it off.I'd never heard of hoodoo before watching this movie and the bits I picked up from the movie interested me enough that I don't consider it a total flop.It reminded me of The Sixth Sense a bit, if you take out the annoying kid and every ounce of novelty and interest that movie held.
Is the review positive or negative?
