Contender For The Best Comedy Of The Year

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2008)

the fact i went into this film knowing only it was an m night shaylaman film and a very brief understanding of the plot i was quite excited to see it. It starts off promising with an interesting idea but begins to heavily decline after about 10 minutes, there is not one single decent performance in it,it seems as if mark whalberg has forgotten how to act, most actors seem as if they either cant remember their lines or have any faith in them mind you i wouldn't blame them if it was the latter as this flick contains some of theworst dialouge i have ever heard ("im packing hotdogs" being a prime example) i actually found myself laughing out loud for some amount of time during this film, besides the shoddy acting and terrible screenplay the ending is as vague and disappointing as the whole movie itself, unfortunately it seems as if m night has given up making decent films and is on a path to cinema self destruction, go see this film if only to laugh at the numerous ludicrous incidents within it with your friends afterwards.
