O.K. So I think we may have rented this one out of curiosity, but this time curiosity did kill the cat! The "movie" (if you can call it that) was Cloverfield. If you liked the Blair Witch Project, then you will probably like this one. Otherwise, I would suggest skipping it and save yourself some brain cells. We actually watched the whole movie in rapid play, hoping that it would improve. No such luck. We even watched the deleted scenes and commentaries hoping for some kind of redemption. Still no luck.
So, you ask what the movie was about? In a nutsheel, there was a going away party for one guy and during the party this monster attacks New York City (think of a bad version of Godzilla with a new monster). Of course there is mass evacuation and a group of the party goers had to go back to save a friend. And, in Blair Witch tradition, the entire film is from the perspective of the one running around and holding the camera. If you have to know the ending, ask me or rent it (you've been warned!). I don't want to ruin it for you.
