Before I get into the talk of whether M. Night is the best director going right now I'd like to comment on a few things that I wrote down in the first ten minutes of the movie. They were:
1. I hate clouds
2. Will's dog
3. David?
4. It's the trees.

1. Alright, I don't know if I actually hate clouds or not, but the opening credits were all done with this footage of a cloudy sky going from day to night. It reminded me of a screensaver or some made for tv movie which is kind of what M. Night makes. I'm not knocking it, but the dude just uses techniques you see pop up in movies on lifetime.

2. So, the first thing you see in this movie is a crowded park scene with joggers and walkers. One of them is running with a beagle. My roommate, who I saw the movie with, leaned over and said, "Will's dog?" when this extra with the dog ran across the screen. He was talking about his friend Will who just got a dog. The dog doesn't have a name other than Willow, but he'd rather name it something else only he hasn't decided what. I actually met Will's dog hours before the movie.

3. In the previews you see bodies falling off the roof. It's a construction site. The second body to fall is named David. After the crewmen on the ground finish laughing at the joke about a guy with the name "Wendy" tattooed on his dick and a guy with "Welcome to Jamaica have a nice stay" the first body falls. The workers all run over and are like, "Oh shit that's Bill." Then the second body falls and they're like, "David? David fell too." Then they look up and everyone is falling.

4. Sometime in the next couple minutes there is a shot of some rustling trees. That's why I think they did it.

Anyway, as for the movie overall, it was a laugh fest. Really, I'm being serious. M. Night has almost perfected the genre of "Is he serious, he's making a joke right, he can't be serious, I think he really is trying to be serious, oh that's funny he doesn't know that we don't think he is serious" movies.
If this movie was made ten years ago with a limited budget by an unknown director it would be a cult favorite in the same way Ed Wood has become a cult hero.
