The Happening sucked. Big time. Sorry Andy for dissing you about it. I now admit you were right. Seriously, could the acting be worse in this movie?
"Oh darn, Rodriguez fell from the building. Holy gosh, so did Bob. What ever can we do? Oh man. Oh man. I feel not good. I are good actor." Even Marky Mark and Leguizamo, and Zooey for that matter were straight horrible. HORRIBLE I say. I guess M. Night told them to act as pedestrian as possible, and by that he meant - just don't act at all, in fact make it bad - really bad. It was so bad it didn't even seem like how people would act in real life. That guy that took them to the green house was odd, which is what I think he was supposed to be, but he couldn't act to save his life either. I honestly don't understand this approach.....at all???
I have loved every other M. Night movie I've seen - even The Village, which many people thwarted. In fact, on my top 161 movies list I have The Village listed at 39, Signs at 55, and Unbreakable at 124. Yeah, I'm not sure where Sixth Sense falls. Sure it was good, but I can't stand the hype on that one. It is on the "pending list" - to be added at a later time.
The ONLY cool thing about this movie was the way peeps were offing themselves. Dammit M. Night, you now have me strayed from your good graces. Damn! The last 4 movies prior to watching this one were WAY better: the Brood (1979), Deadbeat at Dawn, White Boyz, and Eraserhead. (I actually didn't include Boondock Saints - I saw this again and also didn't get the hype. It's my second time watching as I wanted to see if it got better and the answer is no. I also didn't include the 2007 version of April Fool's Day or 21 with Kevin Spacey. Both movies sucked).

Seriously, Marky was like, "Hi, I'm Marky plant....can you hear me plant.....why are you being mean to us plant.....(marky touches plant)....OMG I'm talking to plastic.....still plant, I love you and hope you can tell your real friends not to hurt us anymore...." and "it seems they are having issues in groups.....c'mon Marky, think.....you are a teacher, and a botany teacher at that....think Marky......groups.....people dying....think" and "you take my kid, I don't want to be responsible for her anymore [YEAH FREAKING RIGHT, WHO DOES THAT???], I'm going to Palmdale to look for my dead wife" and "I can't believe you talked about our fight with her, now she won't ride on the train with me, and now I have to act bad....and look over there - oh no, it's bob - he's fallen to a brutal death and is hurt a bit and died....oh, and there's rodriguez.....he's dead too, scary stuff....poor guy. Hey, here comes our entire team off the top of the building....drab....this is not a good sign.....we suck balls at acting."
True dat bro....FYI, I know own this movie. So, I'll give it another viewing myself to reassess.
