Justin McClung's Personal Opinion

The Box is a very strange movie.  The special effects for Frank Langella were fantastic as was his acting.  Other than Frank this was a real stinker.  Cameron Diaz should stick to comedy and not try new things like a southern accent.  The story is very strange and they didn’t do a very good job of truly explaining what the deal really was.  It was one movie that kept you hanging the entire time but they never finished so you knew who “My Employers” were.  I wouldn’t recommend this one to anyone.  If you are a Cameron Diaz fan I would really recommend not watching this… it will skew your view of her forever.

I have to admit I am a George Clooney fan so this one is a little biased.  The story is a little odd considering his character actually likes to live on the road all the time.  For someone who travels a few times per year for work I can’t relate to actually liking not having a home to go back to.

In the middle you think it is a make you feel good type of movie.  By the end when he finally understands what is important in life he gets screwed over by a woman.. go figure.  No matter how it ended it is a great movie and should get some Oscar nods for “Best Picture” and “Actor in a Leading Role”.
