The Happening (2008)
The Crap-pening!
14 June 2008
I hope you are entertained by the title of my summary because it is far more clever than anything you will see in this movie. The acting is terrible. The direction is terrible. The script is terrible. The dialog is so terrible many of us in the theater laughed out loud and yet the movie wasn't quite bad/good enough for the "so-bad-it's-at-least-funny" pile, which Lady in the Water was bad/good enough for. This movie is a complete disappointment on every level. The trailer looked decent so I thought I'd give M Night another chance but this movie sucks and I now have officially given up on him. I don't even like Sixth Sense any more now that I've seen it three times and realize it was overrated even by myself somehow! One last note, why on earth does M Night Shyamalan keep putting himself in his own movies? He really truly can't act at all. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bad. Why is he ruining his own movies? If he's not good enough to get parts in other people's movies he should give up his acting dream.
