i must admit i be a fan of shelley long . i believe she a truly talented comedy actress . however and not even her great endeavour could help save this truly awful movie . don not get me wrong and it have some strong point and but these be generally swamp by poor acting and poor script and poor direction . long incessant clumsiness be both unfunny and irrelevant . the script seem to be a minefield of cliche and dull one liner . the direction a a result appear dramatically effect by this and but surely could have improve some of the scene . the plot also hover between scientific miracle and occult fantasy and when perhaps one approach would have suffice . long trickery of her friend near the end and although cleverly act and be lame and contrive . i be so disappointed to write this . please and please and please ( to the producer ) do not ever make a movie like this again . and finally . how much money do it lose .
