First off, this is one of those dean cain movies where he has a few minutes of screen time and very few lines, but it says, "starring dean cain" on the description.
This was one of the oddest films I've ever seen. It was as if someone had taken two different movies, one about an 11 year old and her father, and the other about dean cain's character and his 40-something year old wife, and just stuck them together. The 11 year old is supposed to be the 40-something as a child, but that makes no sense.
For example, how can the scenes about the girl and her father be 30 years ago? Everyone has cell phones and laptops. Even if you want to be charitable and say, "well some people had laptops in the 80s" this is supposed to be a disadvantaged family and the computers are clearly not from the 80s.
I saw a review that said this is a "real movie about real people." Maybe that person would like to explain all the stuff with ghosts or whatever those were supposed to be. Is the girl/woman imagining that? Why when her father comes to her as a ghost does he look like Slimer from Ghostbusters and just stare at her from outside of a restaurant? The other ghost thing, the miner (or maybe that was supposed to be Jesus?), spoke to her. Why didn't her dad?
If I had to guess, I'd say someone made the film about the girl and her dad and then decided to add in the stuff about the dean cain character and his wife so they could say "starring dean cain" but honestly... who knows.

Interesting but not entirely original concept. The motives of the characters aren't well defined. The question the researcher poses is not the ideal question to ask AI, as one of the characters points out. It's unclear why anyone in the film even wants to ask this question or why it's so important to them. All of the tension and suspense leads to nothing. I almost expected a plot twist but knew it wasn't coming, and it did not. Almost nothing happens in the last half hour of the movie. Meh.
Not sure why the reviews are so good, maybe some people have been confusing it with the 1978 film by the same title?
I didn't finish this. Within a few minutes I thought the couple should just get divorced and I didn't believe that anything, not even body switching, would be an effective long term solution.
