mediocre at best

The plot is simple and the characters reactions and interactions with each other are abysmal. however the movie's biggest problems is that it just is not interesting. I caught myself falling asleep twice during the film and i have yet to find anyone who could stay awake. here is a list of things you can do other than watch this movie 1. watch paint dry 2. run barefoot on top of hot coals 3. talk to Scott Wiens 4. take an AP computer Apps course 5. Sit in a car with no A.C 6. Read Zamayatin's "We" 7. and last but not least work at All State.
