Before watching this film, I had heard mixed reviews. It was doing well in the media, meaning the news and other entertainment channels. But via social media, everyone was saying it was okay. I had high expectations, but I was trying to adjust them to not end up disappointed like The Last Airbender.
Three girls get abducted by Dennis (McAvoy), one of the 23 personalities living within one body. The girls then, of course, try to escape while dealing with various people (personalities) that continuously confuse them.
The film was great, up until the end. There were instances where the film was comical due to McAvoy's performance of the personalities that didn't relate to his regular persona, such as the 9-year-old boy Hedwig. But even though it was funny at times, I still felt it was believable.
The ending though messed it up. They introduced an Unbreakable character, which felt out of place and one of the personalities was a stretch. But they did give enough backstory as to why that personality emerged.
This film is more of a rent type movie rather than watch in theaters. So try to get it at red-box. 3 popcorns.
