The Happening

The tagline for this film in the commercials leading up to its theatrical release was 'M Night Shayamalan's First R-Rated Movie.' The fact that they had to plug the film's rating should have been a dead give away that it had nothing else going for it. It would have been far more accurate to state that M Night Shayamalan had made one of the most lame movies ever, and it just so happened to have received an R rating from the motion picture board; one of the weakest R ratings ever doled out, too. It barely warrants a PG-13.

Marky Mark, his wife, and the kid survive 'the happening,' which is little more than plants giving off a neurotoxin which makes people kill themselves. The plants have wrought their revenge for humanity's treatment of nature. Totally boring plot, villian, characters, dialogue, etc.

At the end, Marky's wife delivers the exciting new to him that she's preggo and they're going to have a child of their own (in additions to taking in the new orphaned like girl character). And then.....then....

OH NO HE DIDN'T

It all starts happening again, but IN EUROPE.

Hang it up, M.
