Psychic widow, Cate Blanchett, gives tarot readings to the local looney rednecks while her three boys long for their late Papi. Cate uses her cards to be a therapist to the abused mullet-headed Hillary Swank and Beck's brother-in-law and tortured soul Giovanni Ribisi
5 Reasons To See THE GIFT:
#1 Hilary Swank's mullet.
#2 Katie Holmes is topless and dead. (Stacie Ponder says, "Katie's body is BANGIN' but from the neck up she can take a hike." How much do we all LOVE Stacie!?!?!)
#3 An elderly man's naval tattoo
#4 The awesome soccer-ball lamp in the Cate's kid's bedroom.
#5 Cate checks out a crime scene at night in a thunder storm because that's the ideal time to look for clues.

Ya know, that part of the movie made me LOL cuz it certainly stood out that it didn't flow with the story at all but was simply done as a device to try to heighten suspense. So cliche.
What I also remember about the movie is that Billy Bob Thorten was one of the writers and it was loosely based on his experiences of growing up in a small town with his mom who has psychic abilities.
