I actually figured that out long before seeing the movie, just by everyone talking about a big surprise, and seeing the trailer with the kid going, "I see dead people." Oh well, I enjoyed it anyway.
Maybe we should start a thread of "movies that were given away by the trailer and/or reviews." High on my list would be Million Dollar Baby and The Crying Game.
Leslie, that's OK. I'm probably just extra-sensitive in this case because I went into this one with an unusual degree of ignorance about what was going to happen (usually I've read so many reviews I already know the entire plot), so I wasn't sure who was going to live or die or what. But on this thread we've discussed the plot in general terms anyway.
Just don't anybody mention what happens at the very very end!

Actually, I had read quite a reviews about this and they were, all in all, very unspoilerish. I knew it was 2 guys going to get the prison train but beyond that, reviewers managed to keep their lips zipped.
The only movie I can think of that I went to see without reading a single review and knowing nothing about was Titanic. Well, okay, I knew the boat was going to sink but that's about it! We saw it on opening night because we had a suddenly "free" night when both children were invited to play dates or parties (they were 9 and 6 at the time). A night by ourselves to go to the movies? Wow! I was blown away by Titanic and I still think it's great, even though it seems to have become the movie that "everybody loves to hate." Oh well, I am a sucker for romance and I still enjoy it. (And I am of the mind there are a few Titanic references in BBM that are intentional.)
The other one I saw "cold" was Fatal Attraction. Yikes!
