The Lovely Bones
Quite disappointed with this, I was expecting a tug on the emotions film considering the storyline, especially as I have a young daughter myself. But It didn't really get to me as it could have done and I think the main reason is the actors that played the parents (Mark Wahlberg & Rachel Weisz) they didn't come across that they were in utter turmoil at their daughters death. Maybe they should have chosen better actors? The girl (Saoirse Ronan) and the murderer (Stanley Tucci) were really good and carried the film by themselves. The vision of the afterlife just reminded me of the film 'What Dreams may Come'.
This could have been such a better film, Peter Jackson you may be good at making 3 hours blockbusters but you need to pull your socks up with these type of films.
