I've heard good things about this one. Has anyone actually seen it?
One thing that bothers me most about movies is when the lead characters are children. (see: Narnia and Harry Potter) So here we have a teen-ager who still sucks his thumb. NO THANKS!
Great movie, everyone should at least rent it. The artwork is definitely a miss. Revise that s**t!
Looks like pretentious art house drivel.
One of my favorite movie of the year after Broken Flowers of course. Features sound lame. Was expecting to see more. Oh well, I'll definitely be picking this up!
Wait........I forgot to mention, horrid artwork as well. All my favorites get s**t artwork I've noticed. And 5.0 soundtrack?! WTF?! Oh well, looks like my sub isn't gonna be vibrating on this one.
Looks unbelivably pitiful. Might see it just for the supporting cast.
i love the artwork!
I loved this one in the theatres,
but that artwork is just plain terrible.
I'll still probably pick it up though.

WOAH! Look at Keanu's hair on that cover!
Wow, Vince Vaughn is in it! Don't see him in much these days...
Looks great! I'll see it!
What is "Bad photoshop on both Vinces" for $500, Alex?
This is the first I have heard of this (other than hearing the name here and there). Sounds like a pretty cool movie, I'll give it a rent.
That cover sucks more than the main character!
Sounds decent and I'll rent it. The cover art is OK. I've seen worse.
Yes, definitely disgraceful. This cover reminds me of another DVD cover - The "I Heart Hukabees" cover with Mark Wahlberg in it??
Both are hideous!! Red is not the way to go!

One of the best films of the year in my opinion. Nice cover art too.

So you're saying Harry Potter and Narnia would be better films if they didn't have children as the lead characters? Um yeah.

Narnia and Potter(both the books and the adaptations of the books) wouldn't be what they are if it weren't for the main characters being children, and later, maturing.
Pwned.

Very dissapointing 'arthouse' movie. Nothing all that special about it. D'Onofrio's performance was about the only good thing in the film. Not recommended.
I haven' seen it, but it looks like one of those movies that is actually too artsy and then just hires well known actors to fill side roles to attract an audience. I love my independent films, but I think sometime the filmmakers forget that the film needs to be emotionally involving and entertaining and this one doesn't look it.

No. The movie was great. Too bad this artwork is awful. The Keanu Reeves picture looks so bad.
I'll still purchase it. No doubt.

HIDEOUS cover art, the original artwork kicked ass. :-\ I want to see this.

and another thing,
Narnia and Potter are based on BOOKS,
to change the characters to adults would completely ruin the point of it.
