I find it hard to hate a movie. No matter how bad it is, I can usually find something redeeming, but the more I think about this movie the more angry I get that I actually sat through the whole thing.
I tagged this review as a spoiler because I couldn't possibly explain why I hate it without spoilers: From the fact that we are constantly told that the kid is a step-son, as if that will be important later on but isn't, since we see from the start that Naomi loved and cared for him from the age of five, to the fact that Naomi won't have a dinner date with a patient's father due to basic ethical standards, and then goes ahead and has dinner with him anyway, to the fact that the raging blizzard comes and goes based on plot points, to the fact that there is a small wood burning stove in the kitchen of this gigantic home with no fireplaces and no central or solar heating system, to the fact that the kid managed to play catatonic for six months until a random patient breaks into the house for no reason, to the fact that Naomi can hear the boy breaking into the garage on the other side of the house as well as a raccoon on the other side of the house in her sleep, to the fact that Naomi tries to reason with the suddenly psycho step-son by telling him the accident messed with his mind, to the fact that the suddenly psycho step-son tells her he deliberately caused the car wreck so he was always psycho, even though we have already seen that it was clearly an accident, to the fact that with this piece of information Naomi is now free to change her mind about loving her step-son and now wants to protect the random patient from her recently unloved step-son, to the fact that we have to watch naked Naomi puke in a toilet bowl, and really, haven't you had enough by now, because I have, and I am not even finished listing everything that is wrong and stupid and idiotic about this movie, including all the references to so many other, better movies.
Anyway, if you get a chance to see this, don't.
