Most of the events in the film go unexplained. In fact I don't know why any of the characters were there. The characters never really explained their past or how they became who they are. Also the reason for the actions of the characters are not explained very well either. Why don't they explain the need for the signs? Why does the rider have to wait until he becomes powerful? How do the signs help the boy? It pretty much looked like the boy was easter egg hunting. And of course there was no story, or at least a good one, and No character development! the boy basically spends his time hunting down artifacts. Other than that and a few other things the movie was great.

Pretty much Shopgirl the movie is just as bad as the book. The same droll marimba plays the same "fantasy" loop over and over again in the most inappropriate places as if its some goofy Cinderella story. Enter fairy godmother with the weird music. The music selection is poor overall. The one redeeming aspect of the soundtrack could have been the rock music played while looking over the skyline. Instead, it transitions into some crappy band. There are several scenes that should have been cut because they just don't contribute anything to the movie. Overall, it was cliché, trite, a waste of a blockbuster rental. Anyone with any sort of intelligence or critical eye will find this movie extremely aggravating because of how thinly uninspiring it is. The only reason I sat through the entire thing was so I could waste my time criticizing it.
