Contender for the worst of the year...maybe ever??

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2008)

What a waste of time!! The only thing I got out of this movie was when my mate asked me if I knew why the people were leaping off the roof at the start of the movie...I shook my head...and he said...they must have been forced to watch "the Happening'...burst of laughter all round...
The first few minutes were not bad...drew me in with a huge WTF...
But then the poor acting by the whole cast made it cringe-worthy after that...and within 10 minutes, I was dumbfounded...thinking this really can't get any worse....surely, it has to get better...alas...it never did.
By the mid-way point, I was actually rooting for the plants (if that is indeed correct...) to kill off the entire cast so we can leave...
I would have walked out had I not been with a group of friends and for not wishing to ruin their experience...sadly...on exiting the cinema, everyone of them said exactly the same thing...meaning all of us would have walked out...
Don't get me wrong, the movie was well-shot...some scenes were breathtakingly beautiful...but the trouble started when they tried to put in what they dared call a script/plot and of course adding actors with lousy acting didn't help...none of the actors were believable...I mean, yeah...everyone is killing themselves around them...so this couple with an escape car just had to go home to pack hot dogs...yeah, why not?!?!?! On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best movie ever....this movie is at best a -5 (that's negative 5)...
Keep your money and save yourself some time...watching grass grow would be less irritating...and make far more sense...
Giving it a zero would be harsh since it does have actors in it... so it gets a 0.5 out of 10...make that a 0.5 FFS...
