The Secret (R) 5.5

The Secret (2007) Si j'étais toi (original title): A wife and mother passes away, and spirit returns in her daughter's body. (6.2)

Director: Vincent Perez
Writers: Ann Cherkis (screenplay), Hiroshi Saitô (1999 screenplay Himitsu)
Stars: David Duchovny, Lili Taylor and Olivia Thirlby

There's something weird and irksome about the story.  At times, you just want to shout "uh, no, don't," and no, it is not a plot that makes you think, or asks you tough questions.  Some reviews say that it is a good movie for parents with teenage kids; but I don't think so.  This is just stereotypes on steroids and caffeine.  The acting is okay, I suppose, but when the story gets under your skin, everything else just falls by the wayside.  My Rating: 5.5
