Father?

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2003)

I'm a bit confused by Mel Gibson playing an ex-Catholic priest who, as one commentator here put it, "loses his faith after his wife dies." Um, folks. Catholic priests don't have wives.
Other than that, this was a film trying to be something on a higher level than it could actually reach. "Signs" is not a sci-fi film so much as an inspirational thriller, if there is such a category. Even then I found it rather saccharine, and the holes in the plot could fill the Albert Hall.
Also, would someone kindly dissuade Mr. Shyamalan from acting in his own movies again! The result this time was gravely embarrassing.
