OK, it came out maybe 2 summers ago, 2002. It was about aliens who landed in this farmers field. The farmer had a brother, a son and a daughter. The farmers wife died in a car accident. I remember people raving about this movie and after seeing it finding it to be a complete waste of time. I think it was a one word title.

Can anyone help me out? It’s been bothering me all day.

That would be “Signs”, and I agree with you on the “waste of time” part.

How was it a waste of time, exactly?
