Before I saw this film, I'd never heard of it. When I got to the cinema, I thought I'd try my luck with the unknown and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.
On seeing the names 'Kim Bassinger' and 'Jimmy Smits' in the opening credits - I almost made a bolt for the door. Unfortunately, I stayed. It turned out to be the worst movie that I have ever been to at a cinema. Perhaps in 50 years time, people will be talking about it in the same vein as 'Plan 9 from Outer Space.'
As far as woefulness goes - this film had everything:
My advice to anyone thinking of seeing this film is to go with a group of friends. You will then have a great time outwitting each other with wisecracks. Otherwise - save your money and stay home.

As far as woefulness goes - this film had everything:
- A terrible, terrible script with more clichés than you can poke a stick at (sorry)
- Boring, shallow characters: made worse by embarrassingly inept acting (to be expected from Bassinger but surely Christina Ricci can do better!)
- Pathetic visual effects
- Pointless, brainless, talentless, lifeless script (just to emphasise the point!).
