Easily M. Night's worst

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2009)

I'm sorry, I like Night's writing; but this was awful. The story itself I won't get into for spoiler reasons, but it could have been SO much better.
Actors who normally do a decent job (Zooey, John L., Wahlberg) sounded like they were guest stars on SNL reading their lines from teleprompter.
I had read a while back that Night had been sent back to revise the script several times before the movie would be released - to the point that what he ended up with was a complete mangled mutation of his original story. Maybe that was the issue and he just wanted to get out of the nightmare as quickly as possible. I watched this movie with that in mind and STILL sat there with my jaw dropped at just how bad it came out.
Sorry M. Night fans, but you have to admit, this is just bad bad bad. Shame to see this happen to a guy who obviously has plenty of talent, but I guess when it comes down to it, no one is above releasing a clunker.
