What Did I Just See?

Rating: 3/10 (14 June 2008)

Excuse me? Was that movie a thriller, comedy, horror, action etc? I'd have to say comedy because this movie had me laughing all the way through. The acting was inexplicably horrible, the writing was sub par and the sentimental moments between the main characters were ridiculous and unnecessary. Mark Wahlberg's performance was so bad that I thought he was doing it on purpose and the woman playing alongside him was probably even worse. I remember near the end all you could hear were people snickering at out of place lines and poor delivery when the director was obviously going for something more serious. The only reason I gave this movie 3 stars is the story. It was a solid conflict and it kept your attention throughout. Yet the ending was pathetic and predictable and left the viewer waiting for more. This movie wasn't scary, thrilling, or action packed. It was mainly comedic but I'm pretty sure that's not what the director was going for.
