I never read David Gerrold's novel, but clearly the film has fallen victim to cookie-cutter formula. It's more interested in pleasing Hollywood execs than the audience.
A great cast with both Cusacks playing brother and sister and Amanda Peet as the love interest, but with so-so performances. What can you really do with such bad writing anyway?
The film tries hard in telegraphing a human story, yet falls short of its potential. The concept is great, but ultimately the filmmakers should have gone back to the drawing board instead of wasting people's time and money.
I hear the original novel was great. The film however, does not make me want to read it.
Not recommended.
