I won't comment on the merits of the script/story, as I was unable to make it past the fifteen minute mark of this film.
The reason: the acting is really quite poor. I simply can't tolerate bad acting in a film, no matter what other qualities it may (or may not) possess.

Along with a friend, I saw this back in February as part of a preview screening. We were both asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement which prevented us from posting reviews online prior to now. Totally understandable, as the movie is complete and utter garbage and the studio obviously didn't want bad reviews up before its release.
There are a number of "reviews" giving this film 9 - or even 10 - out of 10. Sockpuppetry at it's finest. For example, see "beliiu"'s review. A brand new member giving a stinker like this 10 out of 10? Hmmmm...
Anyway, to the film itself: my friend and I walked out after an hour - and we *never* do that. The acting is incredibly bad, the jokes fall completely flat; it's simply terrible. As others have alluded to, this movie has been made before and made much, much better in the past (Tom Hanks in 1988's "Big", for example).
Please don't waste your time or money on this movie. As I write this, the IMDB rating sits at 5.4 out of 10. Clearly, the ratings are being manipulated. Don't be fooled. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I generally don't bother writing reviews, but the blatant sockpuppetry and rating manipulation going on here got my back up. If I can save one person from wasting their valuable time and money, I'll consider it my good deed for the week. Thanks for reading.

This show tries to tell stories in a suspenseful/mysterious vein, but fails miserably.
The scripts are about as suspenseful as a shopping list. Often, they either make no sense or the characters are in situations that simply defy any sort of believability.
The acting is incredibly amateurish; most of the acting performances are just horrible/completely unconvincing.
I usually enjoy these types of programs (anthologies of short stories); Strange Events is clearly a low budget program, but to me, it was simply unwatchable.
