Carla Blumenkranz Village Voice ... incoherent cross between Riding the Bus With My Sister and a Christina Ricci vehicle. Jan 25, 2006 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Director-writer Irving Schwartz has a lot of ideas about plots. Unfortunately, he seems to have jammed each and every one of them into a single movie, Perception. Rated: 1/4 Jan 20, 2006 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News An early and daunting contender for worst movie of the year ...

Audience Member A dark comedy that is mostly dark and no comedy. Really a confusing movie full of unlikeable characters. I would say it's a tale of growth and change but even that is something doesn't happen. A really awful film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This film starts out so boring. I didn't care for any of the characters. I didn't like any of the characters. I usually like Piper Perabo but this time she was over the top. Piper plays Jen Marshall, a twentysomething who deceiving everyone around her. Jen moves back in with her parents and then everything changes when she gets hit by a truck. Roles get reversed, Jen gets needy and her friends leave her. Though, I have to say this film really picked up after the accident, and the ending, OMG, not exactly what you would expect. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Hi, I watch about 15 mins of this and it was lame to watch this the main character is just out for herself and didn't understand her at all too so I stop watching it and the other actors was bad too a lame movie all the way around don't recommend no one to watch this boring movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A gut-wrenching, gratingly depressing feel-bad film. Good because it's so perverse in subverting everything mainstream cinema cherishes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, how far has Hugh Jackman's star fallen since the end of the Xmen franchsie that he had to produce this wastte of space! It started out promisingly enough before any semblence of convincing plot or suspence or, damn it, anything that might make it remotely entertaining, completely went out the window. Charlotte Rampling made a good cameo though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is quite interesting. Piper Perabo stars quite saucily as a woman who's perception is altered with a life changing event. And the people she pushed away before she now finds she wants in her life and needs. Some interesting twists and turns. I'd highly recommend viewing. Piper is a good actress and quite beautiful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
