I can't believe this received an A rating. BORING!

This movie was much better than I had expected. Jodie Foster deserves an Oscar for her performance. Terrence Howard did a great job also. The story... as very compelling and the time flew by too quickly. The ending was perfect. The language and the violence were a little rough but at least Hollywood used some common sense this time and gave it an R rating instead of a PG-13. Overall, it was a great movie. Full Review

It's as if the star (Douglas) finally gets to integrate all his onscreen personas, all at once.Full Review

When you stand back a step from the movie, you admire Douglas and Wood for starting with potentially unplayable characters, and playing them so well we actually care about a quest that, in a way, seems more designed for Abbott and Costello.Full Review

With Douglas, the film's shambling charms slowly catch hold, thanks mainly to his personal magnetism.Full Review

The treasure of the film is the unearthing of the family bond, magically played by Douglas and Wood.Full Review

In updating Shakespeare's "The Tempest," writer-director Mike Cahill focuses on the magic worth finding between a father and daughter. That's why the film sticks with you. It's a gift.Full Review
