If there was a shot of someone turning off a light, right before the switch is flipped someone would surely say, “hold on, it’s gonna get dark…right after that switch is flipped….right now!…it’s dark!  Because he flipped the switch!”

Another main problem is, you just don’t…you just CAN’T feel for or care about any of the characters that surround Nic. 

The main facts that sum this up =

- the last shot is of returning lovable sidekick “Riley” crashing his car.

- The screenplay is by “The Wibberleys”

- The Book of Secrets is never once referred to as “the book of secrets”

- Jon Voight is like a digital creation and loks more and more like Grandmas Inez as the film goes on.

- “The Wibberleys”
