Indeed it was!
It's a review from back when the film originally came out and they were pushed for print space back in the day. I think everything had to be limited to 250 words back then.
Having said that - I just came across the review in some notes I had - and its a review that I always enjoyed greatly. I didn't write it, but I really wish I did!
I aim to please... !
Yes 'parkerbot' I have to agree with you on that one - movies are - by their very nature - works of fiction.
As a result I don't see the need of the filmmaker - Anderson or anyone else - to bend themselves into odd contortions to point out the fact - It might have been better told as a 'straight' - albeit fictional - story.
If the runtime was in need of 'filler' as you suggest - it might not have hurt to simply introduce another quirky subplot to be resolved - and thereby deal with the issue on it's own terms.
But that said, everyone is an armchair critic, and I never made a single penny as a filmmaker.
So it goes. Better luck next time, Wes.
There 'isn't any doubt about it...
Hehehe!
That's well said indeed 'FilmBuff' By all means do post again.
No that's not the movie I am talking about - The one I am referring to is as follows:
https://moviechat.org/tt0283632/They
It is from 2002 and is directed by Robert Harmon - Who directed the original 1986 'The Hitcher' with Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell - and stars Laura Regan, Marc Blucas and Ethan Embry - where a psychology student (Regan) finds all her childhood fears and phobias becoming real after a traumatic event.
IMO it is a movie which is most comparable to the 2023 movie 'The Boogeyman.'

Enjoy one an all.
Cheers for now.
IMO the movie that this one is most comparable to is the Robert Harmon directed movie 'They' from 2002 - Although the plotlines are slightly different - both movies appear to have the same 'feel' and hit a number of the same beats.
Elisha certainly seemed to have done more movies since leaving the TV show... but having said that she seems to have disappeared from screens of late.
Not sure what Marshall Allman (LJ) is doing of late - but he seems to have had a large number of guest starring spots on a number of TV shows.
I wonder if Allman and Cuthbert get same questions in real life... 'I saw you in Prison Break / 24... Excuse me but does your character only exist to get kidnapped on the show?'
I imagine the response to be something like... 'I work as an actor, I'm trying to make a living here...'
