Birth (2004)

Nicole Kidman should seriously re-evaluate her career choices (she should also think about putting on some weight).  If she keeps on choosing roles like this one or her recent so-called comic ones, people may begin to wonder what all the fuss is about when she's not wearing a prosthetic nose.  It's not that she is a bad straight actress, but no acting chops could have saved the pretty high-powered cast appearing in this idiocy.  It concerns a woman widowed ten years previously who is about to re-marry when a 10-year-old boy appears claiming to be her late husband.  Kidman comes to believe him and possibly they both should have been placed in therapy, especially since the lad eventually realises that he can't be her husband since he in fact loves her.  (Don't get me started on the logic of this one).  In the meantime we get the creepy image of their bathing together.  Ugh!!!
