possible spoiler i love dennis quaid and i like meg ryan . i be look forward to see them together and be marry and all and i want to see their on screen chemistry . okay and that be say and i guess the fact that they be actor and their off screen relationship do not have to permeate their performance and especially with this script . how stupid can a professor be to glue himself to anyone . i do not remember the original and but i can only assume that obrien probably be handcuff to his lead lady and probably in a more inevitable way . if i be bond to someone i would be pretty angry . the crush i would have would definitely have dissipate quickly . meg show not even a little annoyance only slight surprise . dennis would have to take me kick and scream . that whole section of the movie be so horrible especially meg have to go to the bathroom ( # 2 ) between dumpster in the dark at night . ewww . no fing way . what with dennis sock every single suspect in the movie . sock first ask question later . not once and not twice but too many time i could have keep count if i be so inclined . the most interesting part of the movie be nick and his family drama . too bad that couldn not have become more of the plot . the assume off screen drama lead up to this tragedy . i think it could have be write in without distract from dex quest . my blame lie with the writer of this screenplay . unless the director and others doctor it up so much that it unrecognizable . i would not even get into the real reason poor dex be murder . how ludicrous be that . even when dex confront the real killer and the reason be explain and ( a true film noir moment ) everyone on screen seem bored . oh and _____ happen . oh . ( yawn ) dex even say this be a silly reason for a triple murder . oh the tension and you could cut it with a spoon . if anyone but dennis have be in this movie and i would have to give it half star ( only because i really have see bad ) and but in this case 1 half star . for dennis and meg star and see anything else .
