Good story, terrible dialog and acting.

Rating: 3/10 (29 June 2008)

Now, I wasn't expecting this movie to be spectacular. I looked back at the previews for The Village, and how wonderful it looked, but, it wasn't. I saw the previews for The Happening, and thought, "These previews look wonderful, but I bet this movie is terrible". Now, do not get me wrong, the story was good, I thought the concept had something behind it (once you learn what the concept is). The story was just ruined by the terrible acting and dialog. How are you going to have a serious mood movie, then have some guy joking about how hot dogs get a rap!? HELLO!!! PEOPLE ARE KILLING THEMSELVES, AND YOUR JOKING ABOUT HOT DOGS! Now, these people who say, "The people who don't like this movie, just don't get it". Those people, are dumb. There really isn't that much to get. People are killing themselves because plants are producing toxins into the air. Thats it, these people understand what is going on, and are trying to survive. Whats is it that we don't get!?
