Reply to comment by MichaelRoco1 in 'Signs' is really great by The_Cyberbard

I think it's because the main character is an angsty ex priest who lost his faith and a big theme of the movie, seemingly confirmed at the end, is that everything happens for a reason. That's why his son's asthma, daughter's water habit, and wife's last words all come together to make sense and presumably lead him to renew his faith.

It just feels a little too convenient and lazy. I still really enjoy the movie, though. I just think the "angry atheist has faith restored" is a worn out trope at this point.
