It’s not ‘Happening’
After perusing the Rotten Tomatoes page for The Happening, I feel secure in my initial decision to skip this movie. Even EW and Hollywood Report gave it a C.
I actually like Shyamalan in most circumstances. I even saw Lady in the Water, although it was overly simple for the melodramatic tone of the film, I wasn’t upset that I’d seen it. And Unbreakable is an excellent film. So why can’t M. Night deliver with his latest feature?
Basically, it’s a gorefest and nothing is resolved. Who wants to see that? Not to mention, I hear his characters have less than stellar dialogue. M. Night simply says it’s not supposed to be complicated and should be considered as a “fun b-movie”.
For Father’s Day this year, maybe skip the movies and go fishing instead.

I’ve always been a strong supporter of his movies, but without being able to find a single decent review of it I decided to skip on it as well…and seriously, why on earth would you ever set out to make a “fun b-movie”??
Ha, clever title. Bummer, I was kinda intrigued by the mystery of “The Happening” from the previews, but this can definitely wait for the small screen.
This movie seriously looks so bad. I haven’t liked any of his movies since Sixth Sense. He knows how to write plot twists, but not the actual plot. He’s a hack.
I’d totally see this, just to laugh about it.
