This film could have been good....but alas.

I read an interview with Jon Cryer who lamented on how the original script for this was stronger than what made it on screen. He didn't really reveal everything that didn't make it to the screen, but I know that the little kid from earlier in the movie would've had a bigger role.

But yeah, this was the movie that was supposed to save the franchise. Just how St. Anger was supposed to be the album that gave Metallica their cred back.
