I watched this movie at the cinema theater in 1975 or 1976. I loved it! Then i rented it on VHS back in the 80's, and thought it was one of the best films i'd ever seen. Now, i was so lucky to find it on DVD, with Norwegian subtitles (Not that they're really needed here, though). This is clearly a very different film. Very quiet and beautiful, and with Neil Diamonds beautiful songs, that match perfectly. If a film intends to mean anything, the audience needs time to think. In todays modern, fast, loud movies, you hardly get time to breath, lot less to stop and think. With this movie, however, you get plenty of time. And the quiet, beautiful scenes are a part of the message delivered: Take your time, live your life to the full, don't be afraid to try what hasn't been tried before, don't hesitate, and don't stress. And first and last: Don't just accept other people's "thruths". Go find out for yourself. If it works for you, it works! I rated this film 10/10, because it's not only a very good film, it's unique! There has never been another movie quite like it, and probably never will be. This is a brilliant masterpiece of a film.

This "movie" sucks big-time. The manuscript is horrible, the acting is the worst i have seen yet, and the same goes for the photography, directing and cutting.

I am sorry that there is no possible way to vote "zero", because this movie doesn't even deserve to be rated "one". I will have difficulties taking M. Night Shyamalan seriously from now on.

Present me with a cheap home video cam, 4 randomly picked hobos that will work for a bottle of whisky, 14 days to write, direct, and film, and whatever i'll come up with, will beat this so-called "movie". I am not only very disappointed. I am shocked!
