Amazon.com: You'd expect the end of the world to be no day in the park, but in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, a day in the park is where the end begins. One otherwise peaceful summer morning, New Yorkers strolling in Central Park come to a halt in unison, then begin killing themselves by any means at hand. At a high-rise construction site a few blocks over, it's raining bodies as workers step off girders into space. And all the while, the city is so quiet you can hear the gentle breeze in the trees. That breeze carries a neurotoxin, and what or who put it there (terrorists?) is a question raised periodically as the film unfolds. But the question that really matters is how and whether anybody in the Middle Atlantic states is going to stay alive. The Happening is Shyamalan's best film since The Sixth Sense, partly because he avoids the kind of egregious misjudgment that derailed The Village and Lady in the Water, but mostly because the whole thing has been structured and imagined to keep faith with the point of view of regular, unheroic folks confronted with a mammoth crisis. Focal characters are a Philadelphia high-school science teacher (Mark Wahlberg, excellent), his wife (Zooey Deschanel) and math-teacher colleague (John Leguizamo), and the latter’s little girl (Ashlyn Sanchez). Instinct says get out of the cities and move west; most of the film takes place in the delicately picturesque Pennsylvania countryside, with menace hovering somewhere in the haze. There are no special effects (apart from a wind machine and some breakaway glass), but the movie manages to be deeply unsettling in the matter-of-factness of its storytelling. Especially effective is its feel for what we might call the surrealism of banality. One warning sign that someone has been infected by the neurotoxin is irrational or erratic speech and behavior, yet Shyamalan has a genius for dialogue that sounds normal and everyday as it's spoken, yet flies apart grenade-like a second later as its logic (or illogic) sinks in. Then there's Deschanel's eye-rolling dodginess about the messages some guy has been leaving on her cellphone. Or the fellow (Frank Collis) who addresses his greenhouse plants as though they were his children--has a stray toxic zephyr wafted his way, or is this just his idea of normal? --Richard T. Jameson

Yet another in a long string of losers from one-hit-wonder, M. Night Shyamalan. What could Mark Wahlberg have been thinking? And with John Leguizamo's departure from ER, I guess he needed to do something to keep gas in the SUV. Ridiculous storyline with more inconsistencies than dead bodies. Absurd dialouge and zero character development. Ironically the desire for people to start shooting themselves in the head and walking off 10 story buildings is sort of how you're left feeling after seeing this ... Read More

I thought the overall story was pretty decent, but this movie suffered from poor writing and acting.
I seriously couldn't tell if this movie was SUPPOSED to be bad, because most of the movie is like this. The dialogue exchanges throughout the entire film are just BAD. This was, like I said, due to poor writing by M. Knight and bad acting by pretty much everyone... but it makes you wonder if M. Knight intentionally made the movie like this for "campyness".

The "Crappening" has to be the biggest dissappointment I've had in a movie in a very long time. The plot was lame, the acting was worse. I've seen B movies with better acting. The ending was stupid and very anti-climactic. Fortunately the award for worst ending has already been set in stone by "The Mist"...
Don't waste your money renting...don't waste your money on the energy it would cost to watch the movie on cable either...

This movie could have been so much better than it was. The concept was great, and the beginning of the movie is very creepy.
Here's the flaws though:
1. Besides John Leguizamo, the acting is absolutely awful. Zooey Deschanel is a horrible actress and makes any attempt at a love subplot impossible to believe or connect to. Whenever there was a scene that I could tell was supposed to make me think "aw, that's nice, good for them!" I ended up just thinking "who cares?"

The words needed to describe how incredibly bad this movie is don't exist. Stupid, boring, slow, senseless, dragging, and like-nails-on-chalkboard are some that come to mind, but they are nowhere near the level of crappiness attained by this waste of money and time.
Mr. Shyamalan, I would be forever thankful if you never again attempted to make a movie.
