The real horror here is watching Sandra Bullock drop her big Miss Congeniality smile to A-C-T! She does this by not smiling. What happened to the range she showed in Crash and Infamous? Bullock plays Linda, a wife and mom whose husband, Jim (Nip/Tuck's horn dog Julian McMahon), has died in a car accident. Linda mourns, at least until the next morning, when Jim is there sipping coffee. Wha? Huh? Is Linda nuts or just indulging in wish fulfillment, since Jim is sniffing after a hottie at the office, or does she have the gift to see into the future? I have a premonition you won't give a damn. I sure as hell didn't.

This movie started to freak me out, and confuse me. I guess it's important to know the meaning of the word "Premonition" before you watch a movie with that title. I'm going to buy it when it comes on DVD and have someone help me understand it!

woulda shoulda coulda...but it didn't. Great idea--can you
stop something from happening before it does. Wouldn't we
all love to have stopped 9-11 or the JFK assasination.
Unfortunately this film doesn't even come close to that kind of
compelling drama. It is the usual stuff that make bad
hollywood films bad: a script that was not ready and a
production that was rushed. Too many inconsistencies, too
many scenes that made no sense, and characters that are
hard to care about. Bullock was just OK in this, which is
saying a lot for her. Too bad...I really wanted to like this film.

I thought that Sandra Bullock did an amazing job in this movie. It was a little confusing in the begining, but it ended with maybe not the best way, but how life really is. It's not your typical happy ending movie. Either way, it puts everyone in a different perspective of life, and showed me many new things I didn't realize before. It to me, is a must see movie.
