You're giving it too much credit. The explanation is that it was a completely freak act of nature that nobody will ever know the truth about, hence the scene in the classroom. The bad acting and pointless scenes could not have been a fluke, the movie's more of a joke than anything. I'm not a huge Mark Wahlberg fan, but I don't think he's TERRIBLE. You can't be that bad on purpose and be serious about it.
Look at the scenes with the two kids who get shot, or the nursery owner. Complete joke. It's like Lady In The Water and The Village. So rediculous it's entertaining.
