Review by Jennifer Pflughaupt for The Mungles on
Movies
́Premonitionî, starring Sandra Bullock, Julian
McMahon, and Nia Long is a whirlwind of a film filled
with twists and turns that keeps the viewer guessing
up until the very end. What would you do if you wake
up one day and everything is how it should be? You
have a loving family and routine day. You go to bed
that night next to your husband. Three days later you
wake up to find yourself at his funeral and have no
idea what has happened to him. This is the intriguing
premise for ́Premonitionî and I was thrilled that I got
to go see this movie.
As much as I like a good mystery / thinker though, this
story was a huge disappointment. And for the record,
those who know me know I LOVE Sandy. She is one
of my favorite actors and it is hard for me to negatively
criticize a movie she is in. She is good at comedy,
romance and drama, but this story does not live up to
her acting abilities. She was great and did what she
could with the story. She brought believability to her
character that is incredibly charming even through her
troubling circumstances. However, the story was
lacking and instead of going with the unexplainable,
the writers tried to make sense of it all and left much
to be desired.
It seemed as though the writers quit at the end of the
script abandoning all creativity and originality on the
cutting room floor. At one point, I was waiting for
Keanu Reeves to show up at her mailbox.
Imagine ́The Lake Houseî on acid until the last five
minutes and you have ́Premonitionî. I give the flick
2.5 closed caskets out of 5.
