for his first film and m. night shyamalan and leave much to be desire in this film . it not really a bad film and maybe mediocre at best . nothing wrong with the story and but the film be very low energy and a bit too sugary for my taste . the acting be weak and the directing be slow paced and not involve and i find myself nod off occasionally . maybe i need a nap but i do not think so . the story involve a child quest to find god after his beloved grandfather dy . most of the film take place in a catholic boy academy and the hijinks that ensue be very corny and cheesy . rosie odonnell and camryn manheim be ok a nun but the young cast be all below par a actor . the good news be that shyamalan do survive this to direct sixth sense and unbreakable and sign .
