We have all heard plenty about paedophiles by now, but this film does a very good job in bringing the emotions and pain that mother figures experience from losing a child. The main character Jaq has a heartbreaking moment of her own which got me bawling my eyes out, just thinking about the loss she went through at one stage in her life. Hayden Panettiere does a great job of the lead role and it was nice to see her as a mature woman after last seeing her in the tv series "Heroes". The location choice for the perpetrator's residence had me feeling quite creeped out by its bizarreness, and I'm always in awe at the amount of good film locations that exist in America for this type of genre. Good Friday night movie. Enjoy.
Why do we have a guy who introduces us to his cute kids at the end of the show, and uses cute puppets...bringing in very uncute, overused and often crude topics?? In earlier shows "I Kill You" was fun times amongst the other characters but as some of the low reviews here have indicated... pretty poor material and jokes as old as the hills in this edition. Come on Jeff, give us some family fun new angles and leave out the crudity, you'll still make as much money if not more. And I reckon Jeff could work on convincing us more that he is not a ventriloquist, perhaps by omitting to have so many of his blank stares which are then followed by laughing at his puppets...comes across as someone who laughs at their own jokes eh.
If you've ever wanted to see how to mix good elements of film-making with bad ones then here's your film school tutorial. I'll doubt you'll last longer than 20mins but if you do then you're probably as bent as the awful cliche' script and sleepy editing. Had both been done well they would've upped this film to a 6 score or higher. I "sped watched" to the end.
