When a movie gets delayed for a long time, movie-goers normally should worry about the movie or it's end result. See Cabin Fever 2, which is really bad, but more on that later. A recent example could be the new Wolf Man, with Benicio Del Toro. Although if it stirs in the same water as Case 39, it won't be half as bad, as you should expect. Having said that, Case 39 is pretty good actually. If it weren't for Bridget Jones herself playing the major role, it might even be better ...

It's nothing personal against her, but she just doesn't cut it. Especially for a horror movie she is really bad. But she has some really good support cast (the kid, the police man and the psychiatrist) who help her (well the movie). It won't be anything you haven't seen yet, but it's pretty decent and worth a watch.
