I don't quite understand why, but some of her friends feel the same way. More than requiring suspension of disbelief, this movie seems to ask suspension of reason. Oh well. Has a couple funny moments, but you may well be better off just taking a nap. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It is like a poem, so beautiful and yet see through the life of many. People should stop looking at Shyamalan as master of horror, instead he should be call a poet. Most of the story lines try to reach you with alien, ghost, and super beings. Shyamalan has the ability to touch your heart with things around you all the time. In this movie, a doctor with a broken heart, a healer who needed to be heal.
I am going to leave room for those who haven't seem this movie, but pay attention to the human to human relationship in the apartment complex, and how it interacts, changes respected to time. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

We are supposed to believe that "narfs" and "scrunts" are creatures from traditional Korean fairytales (sound Korean to you? More like Pinky & the Brainian...). There's some vague excuse about loud parties keeping the monster away - huh?
The monster is called a "J. G. scrunt" - possibly a mistake in the subtitles, but the "J G" part is never explained.
The plotline keeps promising to go somewhere, and the fine cast of actors really tries to help (Paul Giamatti is wonderful; Bryce Dallas-Howard really engages, although she only has about 3 lines of dialogue). But ultimately, they can't save the movie from the director/producer/writer/costar (and probably key grip), M. Night Shyamalan.
The DVD extras are even worse: "Auditions" is *literally* mostly shots of actors retching for the party scene. Glad you included that, M. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Although well acted, even the actors feel uncomfortable saying many of there lines. The start of the movie tells a story, with stick figures, how the water people and the land people become separated. The water people need to come back and save the land people. Sounded dumb, but I stayed and watched. Do not do that!!! You will never get that hour and a half back in your life. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
