'Jumper' Holds Zero Substance
Jumper * *
Let’s say you’re a young, good-looking guy, with strong cheekbones and puppy-dog eyes and pillowy, kissable lips. Hayden Christensen, for instance. And let’s say you have this amazingly cool ability to jump anywhere in the world at any time, just by thinking of the place you want to go. You can surf in Fiji, have a picnic atop the Sphinx or pop into London to pick up a random blonde for a one-night stand. You don’t have to worry about working because your income comes from robbing banks. But you can’t tell anyone about this talent so you have to experience all these adventures by yourself. Wouldn’t you feel lonely? Guilty? Conflicted? Something ...? Not in “Jumper,” which is all concept and zero substance.
