Don’t Waste Your Time
I watched The Happening last night.
I enjoyed every M. Night Shyamalan movie I had ever seen (although I didn’t see the critically maligned Lady in the Water), so I was expecting a good movie, but boy, was I disappointed.
The plot was lacking, the dialogue was terrible, the acting was suspect—it was bad all around.
Don’t spend the $8 to see it in theaters.
Don’t spend the $3 to rent it when it comes out on DVD.
Don’t waste a spot on your Netflix cue for it.
In fact, if you’re walking on the street six months from now and happen to see a copy of The Happening lying on the ground, don’t even bother to pick it up.
It really was that bad.
