- Posted on Aug 22 2007 15:29 Dunno which film Leona Luk saw but it couldn't have been the same one as this. Very good suspenseful film which held the attention & was not predictable. Sandra 'B' was good in the role & most convincing in the, at times, nightmare scenario. I would have prefered a happier ending, but that's just me I guess!

Complete rubbish, this one.
Sandra Bullock plays a woman with a nice little family who likes to sleep late - even the kids get up before her, and have to remind her they need to be driven to school. I think this family should either move to a house near a school so the kids can walk, or this sleepy mom should organize a carpool. Anyway - sleepy mom finds out her husband has died (there's hilarious scene where she demands his coffin be opened) and she is very upset. The next day she wakes up and he's not dead. Seems time is slipping around for sleepy mom, however this is never confusing for the audience as she does a darn good job of finding out right away which day of the week we are experiencing.
The film has been promoted as a thriller, however it is not thrilling at all, and frankly I think the filmmakers were trying to make a different type of film. Try it if you must, but remember - you have been warned. - Report as inappropriate
