Amy is, I guess, in her scene chewing phase of her career. Julianne could get it.

I did laugh several times though.

I totally didn’t get the 2nd half of the movie like nothing made any sense to me

i dont understand why she tried to pick up her phone while driving? is this in the book? are people this dumb irl?

[anterrabre]

[Spoiler (click to open)] In the book she was having an affair with the psych who was treating her, and he was the one who kept calling her when they were in the car. Her husband (who suspected the affair) got into an argument with her about it and she reached for the phone (which had fallen) to turn the ringer off, and that's when the accident occured.

omg so the movie made it completely nonsensical then, wow

That’s what I watched last night! I was thinking earlier today that I couldn’t remember what it was called.

Which is probably a sign.

Amy was fine enough in the movie, Julianne too. It just wasn’t very good (IMO) and a very forgettable movie.

every single scene felt like it was written by someone who had no idea what happened in the previous scene, incredible

the teen boy was so bad, it felt like he was doing a combo dane dehaan, kyle gallner as beaver casablancas, with a little lucas hedges thrown in

i was like FIFTEEN?! That kid from Mosquito Coast would have been great.

I don't know how you could ever forget River Phoenix's name, but... you're right.

The dad was so over the top so quickly.

[iznanassi]

i can't stop laughing, it took the movie from ? to ????

[anthknee]

Yes! Also the female detective was so bad at her job. They took the whole good cop bad cop so literal.

Among the many issues that I had with the book (and the movie), the callousness and unprofessionalism of the detectives was one of the most outrageous to me.
