Does anyone know where the last scenes were filmed, where "Faith" jumps, etc. The film states they are in Portugal. Is this truly the location? Good movie until the sister starts her affair with the ex-boyfriend, which I found to be creepy and awkward. It did not seem like a natural progression of events. It would have left a better feeling if the innocence of the sister was preserved, would have felt more like an ending with good closure, instead of the viewer wondering why that relationship started, what about his wife/girlfriend, where would this awkward relationship continue/end? I also felt like there was no real reason for Phoebe to take acid in the middle of her quest, and it was awkwardly placed in the film.

Unfortunately, it has been ruined by the script, which for all time, tricks the viewer into believing that there will be some kind of final revelation, which never happens. This is what lets the viewer down and therefore ruins the movie.If the movie was honest from the beginning, then it could have become a very humanly intense road movie, like the kind of '70s movies by Bogdanovich or Altman. But because of the stupid cheat, it only becomes a modest and failed whodunit.The acting and sceneries are good though. Worth a view - but only to regret how a better film it could have been.

Faith and Wolf's story and their relationship was the best part. Diaz and Eccleston were wonderful. Brewster was ponderous to sit through. Surprised to see Blythe Danner as mom. She was great. Also look for Patrick Bergen as the father, always like him (Sleeping with the Enemy). This is a very hippy, save the world, kind of film. Don't care for it much, but I recommend seeing it for Diaz's performance alone. She has excellent range and it should be used more. Eccleston is, as always, compelling. He's wonderful!
... View MoreI won't lie to you guys but this movie it's boring and dull.The plot is empty and there isn't even what I call `story'.A piece of trash is a good word.The only thing that matters is the younger and talented Jordana Brewster which I like very much.She's in somehow brazilian cos' she lived in Rio de Janeiro for a long time.And she's my hope to bring the fame to Brazil that we have a lot of talents here.Could open many doors to the artist in Brazil.I really like her ,not only because she's from my country.She made a fine job in this picture and I believe that she'll grown professionaly in the future.But let's talk about the boring Circus.The story could be written by a 10 years old boy.It's very senseless and without connection with the things.Everything is twrown to the viewer and he must understand those crazy facts in the plot.Cameron Diaz commits suicide and hurting a lot her younger sister played by Brewster.So when she turns 18 she decides to do the journey that her sister made before diying(?!).Why would she do something like that?If you knew that somebody die you would understand!Hurts!But what can you do?She thinks that discovering facts of her sister would bring her back?And what is the connection with the title and the story?And why such good artists played in this drama?The end is cruel to the cinema history.And Adam Brooks had a terrible idea to develop this project that maybe only works on the book,which the movie was adapted.It's a story for crazy people!Don't watch!It's too bad!... I could give millions of bad words to describe the piece of trash that this movie is!Two thumbs down!
