Probably the biggest disappointment ever.

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2009)

Mark Whalberg had two films in 2008. They both sucked. I mean, they both blew. One caused Max. Pain and the other one was happening. But not much is happening in The Happening. The Happening is a film that starts off good but quickly falls apart. In every M. Night Shamylan film there is a twist in the end of the film. There is no twist in this. The whole film is just a bunch of people running from wind. Anyways, to the plot.
The film starts off in Central Park. Out of nowhere, a woman stabs herself and it doesn't even hurt her. After that, everyone starts to kill themselves. Supposedly, the wind is causing these people to commit suicide. Mark Whalberg and Zooey Deschanel star as The Moores, an estranged couple who are having problems. Eventually, they are also running for the wind.
Let me point some good things out about this disaster. I love Zooey Deschanel and I like Mark Whalberg and I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for them because they're in this film. After not so great films like Lady in the Water and The Village, M. Night Shamylan brings us his worst film yet. I really wanted to see this film and all I got was an incredibly disappointing mess. The Happening isn't the worst, but it's one of them.
There is nothing to this film at all. I was excited for this film because it's a shamylan film. But The Happening really did suck. Please don't rent it. Don't pick it up at a rental store. It would be a waste of your four bucks. This wasn't the worst film of 2008, but it truly was one of them.
