What is the deep message that people keep alluding to but never actually mention? And who cares anyway? A movie -first and foremost- is made for enjoyment. Now, enjoyment may take on many forms (pain, joy, excitement, laughter, etc.) but it HAS TO BE THERE, or else the thing fails. It must therefore either make sense or titillate the senses somehow. This movie doesn't do either- not for one nanosecond. And so- to say that M. Night (who I think is a brilliant director) has "left it up to us" to find depth and therefore enjoyment in an otherwise laughably conceived, written and acted piece of new-age tripe is to say that he has failed. And here he has- big time.
