      The Worst

      This was hands down the worst movie I have ever seen! Terrible acting - especially the mom and the birthday girl, who kept looking at the camera! And the doctor - "oh thank God!" And the nurse - "if you pray you better pray for him". Are you kidding? I'm a nurse and no health professional would ever talk like that. Where did they get these actors? You can't even call them that! Actors looking at the camera, the mom's accent?? Her crying scenes were so not believable. What was Eric Roberts thinking when he agreed to this script? He's been demoted from the decent actors list. Absolute garbage! What a waste of my time!! DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! You can't even call it that. A kindergarten class could put on a better show than this! I cannot believe someone spent a penny making this utterly unbelievable show. GARBAGE!!!!

      School Play

      This is a filmed school play. The acting is terrible, the sets are cheap, the lighting this horrendous, and the dialogue sounds like it was written by a teenager.

      I usually like Etic Roberts, but he could have phoned in most of his part as you can not even see most of what he "cried" as the elevator is so dark you don't know what he's doing.

      The "daughters" are so obnoxious you really don't even care for them as characters. The mother and son overcast so much that their lines come across so campy it is laughable.

      It's 90 minutes of my life ill never get back, I wish I believed the other reviews.

      Train wreck

      A "Christian Movie" that is blasphemous.

      The best connection was between the son and his mom- that seems more like his stepmom that he's having an affair with. It was awkward.

      He's stuck in an elevator for a couple hours; has a mental break down then writes a will. When he gets rescued he's unconscious and they make mention of how hot it was in the elevator but during the movie, not once does he mention being hot or thirsty.

      I don't know the ending, I shut it off.

      90 minutes of my life, I'm never getting back.

      I rented this, because Eric Roberts is fun to watch slumming it up.

      He wasn't quite as cringey as his "Stalked by my Doctor" aka Dr. Albert Beck performances, but he had many moments that made me decide not to ask Amazon for my money back.

      Otherwise, this was about as bad as it gets. The dialogue was on par for a bad 6th grade creative writing project and bad acting rivaled only by 80's Italian horror films.

      I'm convinced that all of the 5-star reviews were from friends, family or people that the producer promised a $5 Boston market gift card; in exchange for a good review.

      Bonus:

      The theme song to this movie had to be written and performed by people that Simon Cowell advised to never sing in public.

      Eric Roberts either did this movie for free or needed to pay his electric bill.

        The "city office building" was an old hotel in Hicksville, NY that was used before destroying and putting something new there. Cheap way to use a set.

        All building codes require a working emergency telephone in every elevator car.
