No monsters, aside from peoples personal demons and crappy people. Not scary either, just very depressing. If you like really sad dramas and serial killer type movies you may like this. If you're looking for monsters, ghosts, aliens or ever horror, skip this series.

I saw this last week. While it's not the worst comedy I've ever seen, it was very boring for me, for two reasons. I fault the writing for me not liking it, not the actors or the director (well, maybe a little on the director). First is that it seemed like every, or every other line had to be a joke. You could see them coming, predictable, and no surprises. Second, none of the characters were a "straight man" or voice of reason. Every single star had to try and make jokes. A "normal" or non-joking character makes any comedy funnier. Case in point, the original Ghostbusters. Bill Murray was the jokester, the rest of the characters were either victims of his jokes, or of the circumstances, and that made it all that much more funny to me.

All 5 main characters in this movie were written like stand up comedians. I fell asleep once.

Gina Davis and crew overact so much it makes me cringe. The humor is so simple that you can virtually finish everyone's lines before they do. Everyone overacts with such drama and gusto, that if someone had said they were going to make a sandwich, it'd be said as if they were going to do something that may sink the ship, and would take 10 minutes of sandwich making/dramatic discussion. Boring, overacted, over dramatized and childish writing. I've walked out of other movies not because they were awful, but simply because they weren't my style. I can't honestly figure out who would get into this movie. Perhaps people who've never seen a movie? I love Gina Davis, but the director and script steered her toward a performance that any first year drama student could have pulled of just as well.
