too bad mike meyers pick this for his dramatic debut . this film look like it be put together by a committee that couldn not decide if it be a comedy and drama and suspense and or sci fi . it start out sort of playful and then quickly get darker and and then at the end and apparently shortly after one of the main character have be kill and the whole family be stand in the backyard laugh about something . it totally weird and impossible to string together . the acting be extremely uneven and with the old professional engage your attention and and then the young and less experienced actor look like they be in a high school play . this movie show me that it probably hard to make a good movie than be evident from the truly professional fare we see in the first run and art house . this would be a good film for a film class to analyze . plot and character and theme and consistency they be all either faulty or miss from this film .
