I watched it, and I thought it was a really good movie. Why are people hating on it? Did they not understand it?
Are these just the same people that think they're cool if they hate on Shamalamaganan even though they have not seen any of his films?

I havent seen it yet, my problem is the concept, seems just to over the top and stupid and Wahlberg looks really bad from the trailer. But I will watch it when its on DVD because I want to like it because I like Night, but Im not to sure I will.

Man, if you watch it you'll understand why he acts so weird. These characters are meant to be flawed... you know... like real people.

They probably hate it because it's the most hilariously bad movie of the year.

the whole plot of the movie seemed politically driven to me. The plants release some form of chemical that makes people commit suicide? gimme a break.
