THE VILLAGE IDIOT GAMBOLS ABOUT, AND 'GAMBOLING' IS NOT A WORD I TAKE LIGHTLY: This morning, Roger Ebert reviews The Village. On M. Night Shyamalan's ending, he writes:
To call it an anticlimax would be an insult not only to climaxes but to prefixes. It's a crummy secret, about one step up the ladder of narrative originality from It Was All a Dream. It's so witless, in fact, that when we do discover the secret, we want to rewind the film so we don't know the secret anymore.

Oof.
