Where's the cream filling???

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2002)

I cannot express how truly angry I was walking out of this movie. I felt like I had been bent over a table for an hour and a half. Did anyone else feel that the commercials were at the very least - MISLEADING????? Whatever! Can someone tell me why there were aliens in this movie at all?? M. Night Shabooboo could have made this a ghost story or something.
I can't believe that this movie was packaged as an alien flick only to be a drama of one man's faith. At least I think that was what it was about - THEY ONLY MENTION IT A MILLION TIMES!!!!!!!!! I got the memo, really!
For those of you who say this is a movie only intelligent people understand - bully for you. That has nothing to do with the likes of us that hated this film. I like my alien movies with ALIENS in them. If I wanted to go to a philosophical movie, I could have picked something much better than this! I wanted to be scared, suspensified, and have knotty feelings in my stomach. I had knotty feelings all right BECAUSE I PAID WAY TOOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS!
DO not, and I repeat DO NOT package a movie as one thing, only to have it be something else, and at the very least - give the audience a little more explanations. One more thing - it's ok to have a cameo in your own movie- but do NOT take a role and dead pan it - Mr. M. Night Shamalayanana...Bad,bad, bad....This should have been a made for TV movie. Thank goodness the actors were good...
