“Despite a decent cast, u0026#39;With This Ringu0026#39; is just a dull, predictable love squabble.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRegina Hall is perfectly sufficient as Trista, as is Stephen Bishop as Nate; the latter, who I remember from u0026#39;Impostersu0026#39;, is rather underused – a pure romance comedy with him and Hall couldu0026#39;ve been very good. The rest, e.g. Jill Scott (Viviane), are fine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe boring premise is what lets this film down. You know whatu0026#39;s going to happen from the opening minutes, unfortunately they donu0026#39;t do enough to sway your thought process away from the obvious. Other parts, like the music, dialogue and humour, are also poor; Jason Rogelu0026#39;s Mikiko is all that drew a laugh from me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, a poor film – which is a shame, as this likeable cast shouldu0026#39;ve been utilised better.”
