Huge Disappointment, Roger Ebert, What Were You Thinking?

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2008)

Like another commentator, I too was hoping for an M. Night return to excellence. The poor reviews lowered my expectations a lot, but those were still not met. The acting was atrocious...and I mean camp classic bad. Zoey's eyes, Mark's befuddlement, John's...well, John's...OK, John did nothing.
Half way through the film, the thought occurred that maybe this was intended to be a spoof. At least that would have conceivably salvaged the experience. I never walk out of films, but the only thing that kept me in my seat was my hope against hope that something would happen to save this mess.
Of course, it did not.
It was astonishing walking out of a theater and hearing the patrons around me uniformly panning the previous hour and half as a total waste of time and money.
And unlike Roger Ebert, my fellow patrons were right.
