I love James Marsden, Cameron Diaz and Donnie Darko, and I really wanted to like this but I knew even before reading this review I was going to hate it. I read the original short story, I've seen the Twilight Zone version, and so when I saw the trailer for this I was worried. The original story is fantastic, but it ends when the guy comes to take the box away with him saying something like "we'll make sure to give it to someone you don't know". To try and stretch it out to 90+ minutes is ridiculous. He should have made it an anthology type thing. Bah.
