Peaceful Warrior

This is another one of Those Movies: I have absolutely no recollection of how it got in my netflix queue (did I really put it there?) and I've been utterly uninspired to watch it. In fact, I've had it since mid-December and hadn't even considered watching it until tonight when I decided it was finally time to watch the freakin' thing so I could return it.

The menu looked very Lifetime Original Movie. Not good. But then the movie started off with a pretty freaky dream sequence, and I perked up a little bit. All in all, however, the majority of the movie turned out to be slanted towards cheesy family drama, though there were a few weird moments that I liked. And male gymnasts. In slow motion. So it wasn't all bad.

At least I figured out why I picked this movie (I think). It's because Amy Smart was in it. I really liked her in that stupid movie Rat Race, and ever since I saw that I've wanted to see her in something else. Well, I saw her in The Butterfly Effect and it just wasn't quite the same; and in Crank, where her role was pretty unimpressive except for her hiccup scene (which I bet was accidental, but it worked well so they kept it). She didn't have a very big part in this one, though.
