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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Simon Abrams

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

Mark Lim

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!

Michael Greenwaldt

Sounds decent and I'll rent it. The cover art is OK. I've seen worse.

Aaron Schneiderman

That cover sucks more than the main character!

beckmen

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.

What is "Bad photoshop on both Vinces" for $500, Alex?

Looks great! I'll see it!

Chris Gould

Wow, Vince Vaughn is in it! Don't see him in much these days...

WOAH! Look at Keanu's hair on that cover!

Jonathan Bennett

I loved this one in the theatres,
but that artwork is just plain terrible.
I'll still probably pick it up though.

Brad Pitt

i love the artwork!

E. Costigan

Looks unbelivably pitiful. Might see it just for the supporting cast.

Billy Gates

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.

Billy Gates

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!

Mark Buchanan

Looks like pretentious art house drivel.

Mathew Smith

Great movie, everyone should at least rent it. The artwork is definitely a miss. Revise that s**t!

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!

SiskoFreak

I've heard good things about this one. Has anyone actually seen it?

Tony DeFrancisco

This looked good. Like the art. Maybe a rent
