There's not a single good movie with Mark Wahlberg in it. Lovely Bones is close but I really don't like it
The way how Suzy is depicted as downright stupid at times and without agency because she's meant to be a victim, I really hate that. She's not depicted as a realistic, young girl, she's just a vessel for the role she's meant to play. And I deeply dislike how she has very little to no actual personality. Which applies to basically every character, Steven Tucci's character, as good as his acting is, it's so dumb and downright dangerous to depict a pedophile/murderer as the absolute most stereotypical stranger-danger caricarture there is
Heaven scenes are completely oversaturated and they are the very literal depiction of how anglo-saxon protestants imagine heaven. As some place that looks nice. It's very boring despite the, for the lack of a better term, "extreme" color choices
Following the Salmon family in how they deal with the brutal lose of their daughter seems interesting but none of these characters have any actual psychological depth. It's not interesting to see a character seem sad and upset when these emotions never go anywhere
I just can't like this movie. It's unfocused and underwritten. Everyone's a caricarture and a stereotype. The soundtrack tries soooo hard to be emotional but it seems like a simulacra of emotion
I heard of the book and the horrifying experiences the author had experienced that she covered in this book, the meaning a personal work about grief in a post 9/11 America had and the parts of it I have read were beautiful. I just hate how the movie turned out
Oh yeah and Mark Wahlberg sucks. He's dumb. He's not even hot
