No heart, no chemistry, bad acting....


I was really disappointed by this remake. Not that I thought the movie needed to be remade to begin with, but this was just really bad. There was no heart. The character's were flat...there was very little character development. I didn't care about any of them. In the first movie, all the characters had depth. The Lexi in the original had a range of emotions at least. This Lexi did nothing but smile all the time. It was very contrived and fake. The dad's character bothered me, too. In the original, you could feel the dad's pain and anguish over losing his wife and over the possibility of losing his daughter. I felt NONE of that from the father in the remake. Plus, all of the actors had wonderful chemistry in the original. There was ZERO chemistry between any of the actors, especially between Lexi and the two male leads. I just really have nothing good to say about it I guess. It was just bad all around.
