 Lovely Bones... lovely! May 3, 2010

I enjoyed this movie. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure if I would like it, so I waited. Then my in-laws had rented it and while I was over there I thought I'd pop it into the DVD player and give it a view... for free! Well I only got half way through the movie but it was enough to get me to spend money to finish. The story line is wonderful and if you pay attention, you know everything that this movie is trying to tell you. It's a very heartwarming story, at the same time it's got tragedy and love. I love it and I would watch it again.
Lovely bones is lovely July 8, 2010
Robert Eugene Reppert (COLUMBUS, NE United States)
While the script makes some deviations from the book it still tells the story in a remarkable way. It is also a wise warning that the policy of teaching our children "don't talk to strangers" is not enough. All too often the attacker is NOT a complete stranger. They don't have to walk around in fear of everyone no but should be taught that a true friend/relative/neighbor will not try to coax them into somewhere alone without their parents or guardian type of authority. I think the previews for the movie did it an injustice which resulted in some poor reviews. It is not actually about discovering the real killer or revenge at all and that is more clear in the book. But taking the movie as its own story it's wonderful and I think it could spark some good family discussion around the living room.
Sad but happy kind of story. July 10, 2010

Sad but happy kind of story. Not a typical ghost story at all. We loved it.

Amazing! One of the most disturbing villians in movie history. Excellent, unpredictable story. Extremly well made film. Another great movie by Peter Jackson. Almost didn't watch it due to the review on rotten tomatoes. My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed it.

After watching the movies that everybody raved about (up in the air and the blindside) and being underwhelmed. I thought I would try this one and I'm glad I did.
