HORRIBLE MOVIE! I had no idea what was going on throughout the entire movie and it SUCKED. I love cameron diaz and james marsden but please, do not waste your time watching this crap movie!
This movie would have been harder hitting by exposing human greed if the couple chosen for the alien experiment were selected randomly. However, after careful viewing I conclude the alien ... and his human helpers set up their human targets for failure. First the wife was told by an alien helper(administrator) that her scholarship was dropped. Next her husband didn't get the promotion to astronaut training school for dubious reasons. Definitely putting emotional and financial strain on the couple. Not a fair test of human character if you bat someone in the head and then push painkillers on them in order to force an overdose. Sounds like a sadistic alien to me. Full Review
Although I was a bit confused by the ending-left me hanging:; it was a very interesting movie!
Not terrible, but not great. When a man comes to an innocent family with a terrible two choices they must make which is pressing a button on a box which takes an innocent life they do not know and get... ting a million dollars or just decline the whole thing, hell breaks loose upon them and must make terrible and heart breaking choices with the last final mind-bending choice that finally puts it all together. The story is Okay. The performances were not that bad, I just thought there were some scenes that really werent needed which wouldve made the film more realistic. Overall its an okay movie. 3 stars Full Review

This movie kept me involved and intrigued, and for that I'm grateful. I'm beginning to wonder whether, in some situations, absurdity might not be a strength.Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
Whenever The Box threatens to crash, Kelly summons up another haunting image or heartfelt, albeit thin, moral inquiry. It’s an unwieldy, ambitious, one-of-a-kind film waiting for a cult to find it.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
The Box is the work of a visionary flirting with commercialism after having so grandly flouted it with "Southland Tales.'' He doesn't give in completely. Several trips to the megaplex might be required for The Box to make complete sense.Full Review

Boston Globe
Despite its flaws, The Box remains intriguing; however, as its mysteries are solved, the prevailing sense is one of frustration rather than satisfaction. That makes The Box worthy of the dubious label of "an interesting failure."Full Review
