Seriously M. Night? Seriously?!

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2011)

Shymalaladingdong gave us this thing I can't call cinema (it's a disgrace to movies everywhere!)in 2008. It really says something when I am still ranting about it. Three Whole years later. So here it goes.
As soon as I saw the previews for this movie I was ready to see it. M.Night is good at comebacks, Know what I mean? Sixth Sense was awesome, Signs was terrible, The Village was incredible. We all saw how bad Lady in the Water flopped, so I was thinking it was just a pattern and this was going to be the movie of the year. I don't think I have ever been more wrong in my entire life.
The Movie starts off with Zooey Deschanel and her rather unattractive face staring at the camera. She is talking to her boyfriend of all things, which makes perfect sense until you realize that she is married. To Marky Mark. Yeah... So anyway, she and her oblivious hubby find out that all these plants are giving off a compound that makes random people suicidal. Which means that they spend about two thirds of the movie running away from the wind while infected people jump into lion pens and run over each other with lawn mowers.
Why? Did somebody read this and think that this was going to make ANY money? "Hey honey, we are starting an M. Night movie at work." "Oh great honey! What's it about?" " Oh just a bunch of meatheads shooting little kids and driving jeeps into trees." Honestly, was M. Night kidding us? I was waiting for Aston Kutcher to jump out and go, "You just got Punk'd!" This is not a movie. This is a lame piece of crap with a girl who insists on spelling her name with two o's. Why? Can't she just spell it Zoey like everyone else? I'm going to go eat some olives.
