It would work as a joke.. I think..!

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2008)

I just came from seeing this in the theater.
I left in a half a shock state.
This movie has some of the worst acting and some of the worst dialog i have ever seen in a movie and i am not exaggerating. I'll give you an example of how bad it is: my girlfriend, who was watching with me, was constantly saying "this is bad on purpose i think, they are becoming crazy because of the effects of blablabla(not to spoil)".
They were not.
The movie starts off quite interesting and it pulls you in to what's really HAPPENING, but as soon as the actors start talking and the story starts rolling.. it's downhill from there. The movie really seemed like a joke sometimes with dialogues out of nowhere and the acting completely out of context. Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel story is ridiculous and their lines are only bad or worse, with the acting on par with that.
The conclusion of the movie also left me feeling stupid, like shyamalan was trying to have a laugh with the viewers.
M. Night Shyamalan has proved to be an excellent director and i love The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
I really don't know what happened here.. but i guess he was high in the sky while writing this pile of garbage and when he woke he just decided "what the heck! Let's do this!".
Terrible.
