It got to be a joke!!
The funniest film I ever seen. How can anybody take this seriously? It's embarassing in many scenes.
I'm still laughing of the evil trees and the old woman window breaker.
Shame on Zooey Deschanel, I think she was needing some cash...
Well, it worth a few laughs, everybody should see this film and learn how to not make a good film at all.
Pretty funny.

Look, I understand that people may be looking at this for entertainment purposes only, but try to look at the bigger picture. I thought this was an excellent movie! The theme may be a little outlandish, but the underlying message is what should be considered. I guess you've gotta be a treehugger to understand...but I loved it!

I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say this may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've seen low budget slasher flicks and student films that were better than this.

Some dodgy acting. Terrible dialogue. Characterisation was poor so I really didn't care whether anyone in the film died or not, even with the added cliche of throwing a child into the mix to try to elicit some sympathy.

It fails in pretty much everything it tries to do/be. Scary? Nope. Tense? Not at all. Funny? Only unintentionally. Hitchcock-like? HELL no. Message? Buy an Adidas tracksuit and an iphone? That's the only message I spotted.

Only positive things I can say about this are the cinematography was decent and the film reminded me to water my plants ; )

Eu esperava bem mais deste filme, já que pra mim o autor ERA bom.

I expected much more from this film, because to me the author WAS good.

"Can I have a ticket to The Happening thats happening right now?" The title and trailer of this film always lead me to believe this was a 'movie within a tv show' from the Simpsons. Its ambiguousness and vague outset gave that extra point that you have to see this film to actually find out whats going on! However, it did give me a sense of curiousity and it was instantly put on my to see list. Unfortunately, I saw this film with people who tend to read spoilers before they go and see a movie. Which all I can say, it ruined the premise. There was no longer any mystery and I was just left waiting for what was happening to happen so I could see it with my own eyes. Wankers. The word 'eerie' is used quite a lot with this film and I couldn't agree more. As with a majority of Shyamalan ...Read more

"There appears to be an event happening..." As of 2008, it has been nine years since M. Night Shyamalan made his mark on the thriller genre with his 1999 hit The Sixth Sense. Director/writer Shyamalan proved that he is able to create some intriguing concepts and bring them successfully to the big screen. Unfortunately, from there it has been nothing but downhill for the director. In the years to follow the world witnessed the release of many more of his movies, many sinking without a trace. Signs is the only film of Shyamalan's that is almost on par with The Sixth Sense. Speaking rather forthrightly, Lady in the Water is genuine crap! So how does The Happening hold up during Shyamalan's pursuit for redemption? Well, after reading the negative response from critics and audiences alik...Read more

I thought "The Happening", would be much better, and a lot different than it was. I was expecting a really good horror film. The result was a weird, and very interesting, goofy film. I am not going to lie, I was laughing a lot more than I was getting scared, in fact, The film was not spooky, or scary at all, with the exception of a couple scary scenes. it was actually hilarious, and you could probably consider it a comedy film. I am not saying the film is bad, or not worth seeing, because it isn't, it just isn't a film that you can take seriously. There are mostly serious scenes, but they are just not pulled off very well, considering the acting was mostly bad, and cheesy. The story gets very entertaining as the film progresses. Overall, I thought this film was ridiculous, funny, and oddly...Read more
