This is a fine movie with an ending that is destructive. It is so awful and cheap, but more importantly - could break someone.
It takes every easy route throughout, and is a masterclass in cheap writing. However, the end makes the cheap choices throughout seem like Sixth Sense level plot developments.
The young actors aren't great, Jack Black isn't great. The premise deserved a better go at it.
I laughed out loud a few times, but the jokes rely on Jack Black being self deprecating and don't really go anywhere. My 11-year old watched it with me, and even he saw each plot development.
Skip it. Skip it twice.
