I have half a mind to write it as fanfic. Although someone else probably has already. (That's the major benefit of such a large fandom...anything TPTB screw up, someone fixes! Yay!)
I think the movie would've been greatly improved if they'd chosen either the shipper plot or the Fr. Joe plot and run with it, instead of trying to do both. Both plots ended up missing too many pieces.
I don't know if just the shipper plot could've sustained the whole movie, though, even with the Frankenstein plot. I think if I were writing the movie, I would've dumped everything but the shipper plot, then had some kind of mutant or ghost show up figuratively at M&S's doorstep, and threaten them in such a way that they had to get involved, and be the primary "investigators" in the "case." There would've been many more creepy aspects, and a lot more of them working together to find the truth.
