Hilariously Bad , Good For A Laugh

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2008)

I went to this movie trying to keep an open mind. Within two minutes, I was having serious doubts. Within five minutes, I was shaking my head in bemusement. Within ten minutes, I was laughing my ass off. This would have to be one of the most terrible films I have seen in a long time. Where do I start? The plot was absurd in every possible way. The acting was terrible, although many people will be of the opinion that the actors were cast in order to represent "real" people and not act like big blockbuster stars - whatever the reason, the acting was terrible. The casting was plain strange - nobody suited their part, not one person. Surprisingly, Mark Wahlberg - although not really suiting his part - was quite funny, though I'm not entirely sure he was supposed to be. The dialogue was plain strange and quite ridiculous. The supporting characters were just insane. The old woman who is a religious nut absolutely had me in stitches she was so funny. The scenes when they were outrunning the "wind" was just absolutely absurdly ridiculous, there was nothing slightly scary about the grass waving to and fro. It was pathetic. The suicides were poorly done and just stupid. I just can't express how awful this film is. There was nothing remotely scary or thrilling or even interesting about it, the only thing I can say is it is good for a laugh, I barely stopped chuckling at the ridiculousness of it from beginning till end. If it is a thrill and a scare you're after,watch something else. For a highly amusing comedy, watch this - it won't disappoint.
