enjoyable but that is it

Housewife Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) is married to Jim (Julian McMahon), has 2 daughters (Shyann McClure and Courtney Taylor Burness), and her best friend Annie (Nia Long). Linda, one day, wakes up and gets the news that Jim is dead. She wakes up the next morning to find him alive.
She decides to investigate what is happening, to try and prevent her husband's death.

Not exactly fast-paced, and certainly not the greatest thriller/suspense movie, this isn't Bullock's best either! It is however refreshing to see McMahon in a movie rather than his usual Nip/Tuck series. The kids are not well cast - neither of them look like Sandra or Julian.

The ending IS a disappointment. Since this is a thriller/suspense, you would think the scriptwriter would have come up with some not-obvious ending. However, he did. So halfway through the movie, what you expect to happen does happen, and that is utterly annoying.
And that very last scene? How stupid could that be. Useless. One of the worst useless scenes I've seen - sooo American.

Nothing original, or new in this movie.

Still entertaining, despite its plot holes. But I wouldn't watch it again.
