It's contaminated. That's what pint-sized Bo (Abigail Breslin) says about every glass of water that she tries to drink, then rejects. This is just one in a long list of strange occurrences that are changing the lives of the Hess family. Things go awry when Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his brother, Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), awake early one morning to find the dogs barking and the children--Bo, and her brother Morgan (Rory Culkin)--wandering bleary eyed in the corn fields. They discover a pattern of perfectly carved crop circles left the night before. Trying not to overreact, Graham ignores the media frenzy that has permeated all television and radio stations, and even shrugs off the oddly familiar information that Morgan reads in his book about extraterrestrials invading earth. The real challenge for Graham is to find the faith he needs to pull himself, and his family, through this unexplainable series of events.
SIGNS is the long-anticipated film from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE), a suspenseful and uniquely chilling family story.

I travelled in by taxi the day after i watched this film, the taxi driver was raving about signs saying how wonderful he thought it was. I'm a fool, i should have taken the train. How could I even waste breath over how wrong he was! The reviews and trailers made this film to look like the alien sci fi flick of the decade, a winner, after all Mel does do good films! But no! The story starts to build up tension and fear but loses just as soon as it finds it. ET sent more fear up my spine than these aliens and the story just took a nose dive at the end. I'm so dispaointed for the director and cast, what could have been a box office hit, was a real flop... please, only consider watching this if you are being paid to do so or you have seen every film ever made ...twice.
This film is definitely worth watching! It starts off well and you are hooked till the very last scene. This film is well worth watching more than once! Everybody in your family would enjoy it. Order this film and you will NOT be disappointed.
Veteran actress Lily Tomlin once risked the wrath of Katharine Hepburn when she invaded the Hollywood icon's personal space to plant several kisses on her face. The Desperate Housewives star was appearing in a Broadway production of one-woman play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe in 1985 when she discovered top movie stars Barbra Streisand, Meryl Streep and Hepburn were sitting in the audience. And Tomlin was so excited when Hepburn came backstage to meet her, she... Read more
