Odd Thomas
It's that thriller about a California desert town that is in a state of mystery because of a strange incident. In this small town, a stylist chef Anton Yelchin joins forces with his sweetheart Edison Timlin and city mayor William Dafoe to prevent an unknown disaster that may occur at any time in the town. It seems that the disaster is very oddly connected.

Even if "Off Thomas" would have likely had a more fruitful life on the small screen, it is still an enjoyably fast-paced way to spend 96 minutes—with a few additional surprises up its sleeve.

The film fails to establish a consistent tone and never becomes truly funny or scary as a result.

The best combination of scares, comedy, romance, eye-popping special effects and good ol' sass since 1990's "Ghost." At any rate, its a lot better than 1996's "The Frighteners."

...easily stands as Sommers' most accomplished work to date.

They've given this once-promising character a fate similar to death-a pretty bad movie.

I've never read a Koontz novel, but I don't think his target audience is pre-teens. Sadly, I'm not sure anyone much older would find the [film] to be more than novelty.

At once comic, tragic and goofily romantic, and resting too often on Odd's clarifying narration, this young-adult lark breaches the nonsense barrier with some regularity.

Odd Thomas is an engagingly lightweight and occasionally visually inventive film that should appeal to Koontz fans and anyone else open to his whimsical approach to horror.

Nightmarish imagery, violence abounds in dark-humored tale.
February 28, 2014
An endearing, witty romantic dramedy-slash-supernatural-thriller about a small desert town in California beset by demonic apparitions and a satanic cabal of deranged would-be mass murderers.

Odd Thomas has high-speed chases, explosions, narrow escapes and masses of special effects-none special enough, I'm afraid, to save it from mediocrity.

Yep, he's an odd one all right. You're likely to get tired of hearing about it pretty quick, though.
