Echos of Enlightenment

The only thing that kept me watching this movie to the end was my stubbornness. I am very surprised at the decent reviews this movie has gotten-- did I watch a different movie? Did I somehow miss what I was looking for-- depth, insight, humor, characters who evoke an emotional response (any emotional response!). None of this was in "Echos". Instead, what is offered is watered down Buddhism mixed with the Celestine Prophecies and a hint of Richard Bach; terrible acting; creepy whispered voice overs... Ugh. This movie bored me and made my skin crawl at the same time. It seems that this movie was attempting to capture the joy and grace of enlightenment reached in "I Heart Huckabees"--- and failed miserably. Save yourself from watching this movie-- you will never get the time back...
