The Lovely Bones

Disappointing. There’s no one driving the story. Performances from good actors are smothered because of a weak script that lacked character development and a forward-moving plot. Sure it’s sad, but it’s emotionally hollow, as there’s no satisfying resolution. Susan Sarandon’s the one bright spot. She lights up the screen as a groovy grandma in what is otherwise a down, dour, and pointless meditation on the afterlife. (You’re better off renting The Frighteners!)

Also, for anyone who cares, it's NOT a good DATE MOVIE!
