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.
