The film was on a serious topic, and they were trying to get it across in a less direct way. Unfortunatly they didn't get it right. I thought that it would a have a strong meaning and make me want to watch it more closely. It did the opposite, it made me laugh and i lost intrest after half an hour. Toby Maguire acted in it very well even though he had to act like he liked the world he had been transported to. I wouldn't recommend this film to my friends, as it didn't get the message over in the right way. But if you want to watch it go ahead, this is just my opinion.
