Sandra Bullock along with Nip Tuck star, Julian McMahon, protrays a suburbian upper-middle class fmaily who have the stereotypical American "Live it to Beaver" style life. The couple married and purchased a beautiful home shortly after Jim, Bullocks husband in the film, recieves a promotion. Bullock plays a stay-at-home mom who appears to have everything: a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters, and most of the material nesscessities and luxuries one could need. Her life suddenly comes to a screeching halt when her husband is involved in a fatal car accident leaving her behind with their two children. When Bullocks character, Linda Hanson, wakes up the following morning expecting to face a nightmare she sees her husband standing in the kitchen. As the week continues Bullock goes through a series of obscure experiences that turn into being clues to the future as well as the lessons about appreciating life. Every other day her husband is alive and every other day he is dead when the end of the week approaches Bullock realizes that she has been having a series of premontions that may come ture if she doesn't take efforts to stop them.
The plot of the film is packed with action, although it follows the typical Hollywood three act structure: rising conflict, climax, and resolution. The individual parts of the plot are obvious as well as the ending. Although the end does have a twist that I didn't expect, when reflecting on the film it's obvious to the audience how each scene unfolds. "Premontion" is ironically predictable.
