Rated PG-13, 85 minutes
In the new suspense thriller "Gone," Amanda Seyfried ("Mamma Mia") plays a young lady named Jill whose sister mysteriously disappear. The only thing a few years before Jill herself was supposedly kidnapped and escaped, yet no one believed her and they think she's crazy once more, making all of this stuff up. Is Jill really crazy or does this stalker really exist and is about to do harm to Jill and her family again? Badly done on every level, the ridiculously dumb and boring "Gone" may aptly describe the audience, who will likely drift off shortly after the film starts. Highly implausible with little suspense or chills, "Gone" is a turkey headlined by the pretty Seyfried, whose limited acting abilities (think a younger Madonna) makes this movie even more unbelievable. Not all of it's Seyfried's fault, there isn't much to work with given the lame script and the awful, predictable ending. The real mystery is how Seyfried's character, a waitress at a local diner, can manage to live in a huge, expensive house on the tips she makes. Here's a good tip for those considering paying to see "Gone": don't. It's an utter waste of time, and that's being nice.
