unentertainment

Rating: 3/10 (14 August 2004)

Of the many negative things spoken of the village, I would like to add two things:
First, the bad guys in this film are the parents who are so fearful and lame that they go to extremes to deceive their children into a world of fear, simply so they can live in a make believe world without fear. A more satisfying ending would've included the children finding about their parents deception and leaving to face the "towns" and their parents fears for themselves -- much like what was successfully done in a very similar film, The Truman Show.
Secondly, Night needs to figure out what the word entertainment means. Gee whiz. He's in show business for crying out loud.
