Cliches or genre savy...

You know, if I'm reading a book summary for something, I shouldn't end up going "of course" and rolling my eyes at the end of every plot point.

This is in regards to "I am number four". My mom and I had been seeing posters for this movie all over the place. At first I thought it would be like the Prisoner.

"Who is number one?"

"You are number six."

You know, like that.

Nope.

I checked the wikipedia article and gosh darnit wouldn't you know it:

"Of course you need to go to high school and live a Normal Life when you've discovered that evil people are hunting you down and are now able to kill you."

"Of course the girl you've known for all of a semester is your true love and you'll never forget her."

"Of course you get special magic/alien powers."

"Of course you're one of the last of your kind."

Blah, blah, blah.
