WATCH OUT - looks like spoilers and plot details, so if you don't want to know any of that before seeing the movie, don't read any further, just be aware she pans it:
But the film is right about one thing—we all do have a purpose. And right now, mine is to remind you that you don’t need to waste eight bucks on a bad movie to find that out.
A Purpose-Driven Fairy Tale::By Megan Basham (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/MeganBasham/2006/07/21/a_purpose-driven_fairy_tale)
Watching M. Night Shyamalan’s latest fantasy/horror/mystery, one gets the distinct impression the writer/director must have just finished reading Rick Warren’s best-seller, “The Purpose Driven Life,” so intent is he on imbuing his bedtime story with the message that everyone matters. You may be a social outcast, a lonely caretaker, or a chlorinated sea nymph, but the universe still has a plan for you.
A good moral to be sure, but it’s not likely Shymalan is going to have as much success getting the word out as Warren has.
