ridiculous and laughable

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2004)

I liked The Sixth Sense. Signs was alright, but proved to be prophetic: Shyamalan is trying, not to write good stories, but to make cultural phenomenons of the caliber that The Sixth Sense achieved. But you can't keep up the plot twist trick endlessly--it gets old, and predictable.
This movie was laughable. In fact, I had to keep my giggles muffled in the theatre for fear i would insult some of my neighbors who actually seemed to be into it. The dialogue was terribly flat, the plot impossible, and the twist--well, my girlfriend and I jokingly guessed the twist amongst ourselves in a sort of "what if it turned out like this? wouldn't that be ridiculous" and were appalled to find it actually moving in that direction.
don't waste your time with this movie unless you want a lesson in poor writing and film-making and a glimpse into the yes-man world of Hollywood: Friends don't let friends make embarrassingly terrible movies.
