hokiest movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2002)

Who does this Shymalyan guy know in hollywood that he can still get people to call him brilliant. This movie is so bad it goes past funny and just consistently sucks. The story is so stupid that they dont even try and they just get hokey and sappy and hope that moves you. My 7 year old niece could write a story about aliens that try too take over earth but are defeated by WATER, but she is already too smart to see that would make a terrible movie even if you got the actors too talk real slow and stare at stuff. There needs to be a rule made in the movies. If you are going to involve sports in your movie you need to have seen that sport played or have some concept of that sport. Shymalyan uses baseball as a metaphor for life, yet it is very clear he has never seen a baseball game or been told what happens in one. FYI M Knight homerun records are not based on distance. That is just 1 of a 1000 things that dont make sense in this mess of a movie.
