 Poorly written screenplay equals bad film adaptation of a lovely book August 4, 2010
A. J. Hernandez (Orange County CA)
What a lousy adaptation by Peter Jackson of the Sebold novel. The story was fragmented and the characters were absoloutely shallow and cartoonish. Perhaps Jackson's embellishments were a futile attempt to make the film commercially viable - but, instead it fell flat. Even the weird serial killer/neighbor character played by Stanley Tucci could not salvage it. And, those dreamy sequences could have been clipped right from a television commercial - boring and without depth. Save your time and money and skip this bomb.
 It was ok. July 11, 2010

I didn't read the book, Lovely Bones, so I can't compare the movie to it. All I can say, is the movie was just ok. I didn't hate it but the acting wasn't great and there was too much focus on being overly creative with the afterlife aspect of the story. They could have done a better job of intertwining the two worlds together.

To the ones who say it dragged on, well clint eastwood doesn't come in and shoot it up and kill the bad guy right after the girl disappears but it doesn't happen like that in real life either.
I lost a nephew who was 21 to a brain aneurysm and there are so many signs that his last picture was just him looking right at the camera waving good bye, the last time I saw him he came up and gave me a hug and told me he loved me, I thought it was kind of ackward at the time but later it was infinite in meaning. I went to alaska and the state flower is the forget me not and when I was buying a stained glass with those words I swear I heard him whisper it in my ear and I started crying in the middle of the shop.
Thats what I got out of this movie is there is something more if you care to slow down enough to hear the whispers or as the good book says "the small still voice".
I would store this movie right next to ghosts where he says "the love, you take it with you"! That's the part of the bible I prefer to read "GOD IS LOVE"!
PS: Burn in HELL ALL MR HARVEY'S.
Different, but not bad July 11, 2010

Good cast and excellent acting. Makes me creeped out about some neighbors around here. Tell your kids to pay attention. God loves kids.
 Sad but happy kind of story. July 10, 2010
Marcus Chandradasa (Colombo Sri Lanka)
Sad but happy kind of story. Not a typical ghost story at all. We loved it.
