ha ha ha!
you've already paid for this
I really have no idea what to say about this lump of a film. Everything about it is a misstep, the acting, the directing, the cinematography, the plot, the script, the editing, everything just adds to the terrific trainwreck that plays out in slow motion. And of course it's wonderfully bad, and that's the only thing, the only thing it succeeds at is being a wonderfully bad movie, because it's never really boring, and that saves it from being absolutely unwatchable. Even the gorgeous blue-eyed Zooey Deschanel can't save this, nor the usually entertaining Marky Mark. It's as if, instead of each other, M. Night had them acting and reacting to tennis ball marks.

As an actual, honest film, The Happening is awful, but still somewhat interesting. As fodder for people who like bad movies, it's wonderful.

3/10
