I'm not cynical enough to dismiss this movie. IMO it is an all time great. Toni Collette's performance stands up to any. Who even knew she was Australian at the time? While Joel Haley Osment recieved much acclaim for his performance (and deservedly so) IMO this movie fails without Collette's supurb, richly layered performance. Without her we don't see the depth of him. It was their relationship that made the movie something more than just a good ghost story with a great twist.
