Every M. Night Shyamalan Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
8. Wide Awake (1998)
Don't feel bad if you haven't seen Wide Awake: all but the most hardcore Shyamalan fanboys haven't. The director's second movie is a sentimental dramedy about a young boy figuring out the meaning of life with the help of a baseball-obsessed nun (Rosie O'Donnell).
Though this lacks the distinct stamp of his later works, there is a sweetness to Wide Awake that makes it not-bad even if it's hard to describe it as particularly good either.
The cast (also including Denis Leary, Dana Delany, Robert Loggia and a young Julia Stiles) help carry it to the finish line, but this is really just milquetoast family fare without much personality to speak of. Strictly only for those determined to watch every Shyamalan movie.
