Review by mldardar

Were Justin Long's lines written? It seemed to me that the director told him to just improvise in response to Kate Bosworth's lines for about what felt like 30 minutes! I must agree with another reviewer that this would have worked better as a short. But I disagree that Long's acting as Hap, the womanizing lying nerd was the only good acting. The most annoying acting, is more like it. I've never been a fan of Long, as his characters or characterisations always are difficult to like. He does manage to make one hate Hap, who couldn't be sincere if his life depended on it. Since the writers had no more of the story line to fill in that long (Long) drawn-out dialogue, a 25 minute short would have gotten a 7/10 from me, if it only contained 10 minutes of the beginning & the last 15 minutes. My suggestion is to watch as much of the beginning as you can stomach, then skip to the last 20 or 15. The is a spooky sequence somewhere prior to the satisfying ending, whcich made the pain of watching the whole thing sort of worth it.
