Not So Much

Tyson and I had a gift card to Edwards Theatre here in town (thanks, Dustin and Erika!) so we decided to go see the movie The Lovely Bones tonight. Got to be honest, we don't recommend this one. We should have checked out the reviews - which all gave around 2 stars or a C grade. The previews made the movie look great and we heard the book was good, so we thought it would be a good one to use our tickets. Should have gone to Avatar! Or anything else, for that matter. The movie started off really well, but then it just didn't go anywhere for a long time. The story line is really cool, but the scenes in the girl's life between heaven and earth are very scattered and don't quite connect with the audience. That was pretty much how the whole movie was - not a lot of connection. There was a lot of potential for this movie to really move the audience, but it didn't quite make it to that point. We were bummed. But we at least had a good laugh afterward! As soon as the credits started rolling we just looked at each other and started laughing. Oh well! What can you do. Should have checked out the ratings first! It was a learning experience.

So there you have it. We don't recommend spending money on this movie. But of course, it's up to you! Just consider this a warning!

Maybe I'll wait for it to be at Red Box then. I think I liked the book...
