I just couldn't buy in to Osment being a brilliant scientist. His clothes, his mannerism's, his overall look, and his dialogue screamed, "chronically unemployed guy on the couch in his mother's basement playing video games all day." Osment was the wrong person for this role, but he better lines and a totally different look would have helped. Also, on this site, you have to scroll very far to the right before Osment's picture shows up. Top billing went to many who had limited roles.
