Is this a comedy?

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2008)

I have no previous opinion about M Night because it had been so long since I saw one of his movies I had completely forgotten them. I had heard friends say some of his movies were pretty bad.
I saw previews for this a thought it was going to be a good thriller or scary or something. Instead, I laughed the whole way through it and so did everyone else in the theater. I don't even think some of it was laughing because it was funny but just laughing at themselves for wasting their time and money on such a ridiculous movie. I seriously thought the previews were a joke. They said, "here is a scary movie!" and when I went to watch it I saw a comedy. There's nothing scary or even suspenseful about it! I did give it 3 stars just because I thought it didn't make a terrible comedy. Otherwise, I would have given it one or none.
Also, they don't tell you so much. In every scene in the parks where tons of people are being killed there is one person who is just watching it all. Why isn't this person being effected?!? And why aren't the people who are still alive not a tad bit upset that all of their friends and family are dead??? And the little girl, she cries in one scene, just ONE! Her parents are both dead and she is hardly upset.
So, all in all, I came out of this movie laughing. Laughing because it was humorous, laughing because this movie was so terrible, laughing because I wasted my time and money to come see it, and laughing because I thought someone had just played a prank on me or something because that couldn't have possibly been the movie I was hoping to see.
Can we just erase this movie from history and let M Night try again?
