Dull, cliched and unintentionally funny

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

I am convinced...Shyamalan is the most overrated thing to have happened to Hollywood. When I watched the movie, I thought, this is like getting away with murder. While I was bored to tears for most part of the movie, the end, where they show the alien did make me laugh. Tall,lanky, green with a nice butt too and with long pointed nails (an extra terrestrial witch? haha). Who's this movie for? An eight-year-old?
The screenplay is so convenient, it makes you want to scream. After giving an adequate dosage of the aliens hiding in the house bulls***, we are conveniently informed that some primitive method somewhere scared them off. You know what that was? Water, stupid! Which doesn't make the aliens very bright. See, they are more advanced than us, but they never imagined someone on Earth would throw water on them!! Tch Tch.
I think the movie was a quickie out to take the viewers for a ride and make some serious money. Sadly, it succeeded.
