Movie on DVD Review

Personal Effects (2009)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: May 12, 2009; DVD Release Date: May 12, 2009; Movie Rated: R; Genre: Drama; With: Ashton Kutcher and Michelle Pfeiffer

Ashton Kutcher, 
Michelle Pfeiffer, and Kathy Bates are pretty high-wattage names 
 for what's basically a straight-to-DVD drama, Personal Effects. So it must stink, right? Actually, Kutcher is a pleasant surprise as a quiet, awkward college wrestler looking for justice after his sister is brutally murdered. He doesn't find it, but he does find sympathy in the arms of an equally damaged Pfeiffer. Apparently the guy has a way with older women. A piddly making-of doc is the lone EXTRA. B
