Quote:
Sleepwalking is a 2008 dramatic film starring Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, and Charlize Theron (who also produces the film). It centers around the bonding of a 30-year-old man and his 12-year-old niece after she is abandoned by her mother. The girl is taken in by the state after he loses his job and apartment. The two then depart on a road trip to his father's farm, a place he and his sister never intended to go back to. 'Sleepwalking' was an original screenplay by Zac Stanford and was the directorial debut of William Maher. Shooting began in October, 2006 in Moose Jaw and Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada under the working title Ferris Wheel. It was filmed on a 29-day shooting schedule often under sub-zero conditions. The film featured the song "Come On, Come Out" by A Fine Frenzy. Sleepwalking is rated R for language and a scene of violence. It premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2008.

Such a dull, generic movie. We've seen the story a million times before, and the material couldn't be presented in a less interesting way. It's stale and doesn't feel genuine.

Not worth your time. It's just another faux indie movie.

Grade: 5/10 (C-)

Hated it. Like Mike said, the plot has been done to death and this film offers nothing new. Filled with despicable characters I couldn't care less about (aside from Nick Stahl, who actually gives the only decent performance). Dennis Hopper plays the same asshole role he has been playing for what seems like forever and AnnaSophia Robb, so good in Bridge to Terabithia, is one note and rather unconvincing here.

Grade: D-

It was a very blah, emotionless movie. Very predictable, but the performances in it are quite good and it's never actually boring. It's just been done a million times, and you know exactly how everything will end up.

6/10 (C+)
