    I liked this film because it was different, but i disliked this film because it was so slow and depressing. Rory Culkin did a good job with such a big and demanding role. Robin Williams was the complete opposite of what i usually seem in as, and it was just depressing. I expected this to be depressing, but it was just so sad. if your in a mood to be sad and depressed for a good bit go ahead and pick this up. if not just stay a way until you are ready. I had a very hard time getting through this film because of the material, i should have waited a few more years to watch this...i know of the evils out there but wow...certainly for a more of an adult crowd because of the material. The acting was ok...it could have been better but it got the point across. but i will not see this movie again until i get over watching it the first time.
