wow.

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2008)

This is the first film I have ever commented on, because usually I just read them, but this one definitely deserved my time- not in a good way. First, let me say that I consider the Sixth Sense one of the best horror films of all time, and I definitely love many of his films, and I I will give him a break on Signs and The Village. But this movie was M. Night Shyamalan worse work ever. And Im not over exaggerating.
I was very excited to see The Happening, the previews looked good and I was longing to see a good horror film, but what I got was an empty theatre and me and my friend laughing the entire movie. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard, for a while I thought this movie might be a joke or something. The plot was stupid, the acting was horrible, nothing made sense, and the film was loaded with pointless characters that said a few random lines. I don't have one positive thing to say about it, I walked out of the theatre upset and angry.
This R rated film should have been rated PG-13, it should not have been rushed, and in all honesty, it should not have been made.
And if you like Mark Wahlburg-don't see it. ( Aside from his horrible acting, and I love Mark Wahlburg, watching him talk to a tree just completely ruined him for me.) Im not usually so harsh, but trust me on this...this movie was an embarrassment. I will admit that I thought it was hilarious though.
Don't waste your money, you will be disappointed...wait until it comes on TV.
