Elsewhere - 3 stars out of 10

"Elsewhere" is a thriller about a girl who disappears after meeting a lot of strangers on a MySpace-type website. It gains momentum toward the end but lacks the dramatic build over the first hour necessary for a "good" thriller. Set in a small town, it contains all of the stereotypical characters: The irresponsible friend, the corr...upt cop, the awkward Christian father, and the nice nerd that saves the day. Unfortunately, on the scale of good acting, Anna Kendrick scores a 10 while the rest of the cast averages a 2. She is obviously levels above the rest of the cast and, while she is a joy to watch, she makes everybody else look weak. In addition to the poor acting, the dialogue leaves something to be desired, particularly when delivered by bad actors. This was basically a good excuse to stare at Anna Kendrick for a few hours. The only reason that I can think of to watch this film again (or in the first place) is my crush on Kendrick - if you do not share this sentiment, I'd recommend Scream or Devil. Or anything else.
