Lovely Bones ignores compelling story

Review: Great cast can't save 'Last Station'
It's easy enough to venerate a saint, even of the secular variety, but you wouldn't want to find yourself married to one.
Lovely Bones ignores compelling story

'Lovely Bones' misses balance novel achieved
Narrated by a murdered 13-year-old girl looking down upon her family from heaven, Alice Sebold's 2002 novel "The Lovely Bones" managed an impressive feat: It held the divine and the earthly in delicate balance. But in his badly misjudged, terminally uninvolving film version, director Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings") conjures up two completely distinct universes -- a lush, computer-generated heaven, and a somber, gritty, 1970s-era Philadelphia -- and never do the twain meet.
