I AM NUMBER FOUR (C-)

Starring: Alex Pettyfer, Dianaa Agron and Timothy Olyphant
Rated: PG-13

Story: Three are dead. Who is Number Four? Extraordinary teen, John Smith is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri, John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events—his first love, powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny. (DreamWorks Pictures)

Bottom Line: A big budget, big screen, mishmash where 90210 meets SMALLVILLE by way of THE TWILIGHT SAGA. It’s not great cinema and yet they still found a way to make it more watchable and entertaining than those silly, aforementioned, doe-eyed teeny vampire flicks. It delivers some solid acting punches but still remains a pretty bland, uncreative and cheesy popcorn flick.
