Right folks.

Nobody is in on this one except me and the Mrs it seems.

Is this the greatest self aware comedy of all time or is it the best so bad its good film of all time?

Either way its in my all time top five. there isnt a shit scene until the last 20 mins even then it delivers Wait I need a second.





We have debates in our house on whether they were playing this straight or not? Hot Dogs they have a great shape right?

Was the twist there is no twist? Surely me and the mrs cant be the only ones that enjoy this shit? And don't call me Shirley.

M. Night has made unnerving movies, and he's made good jokes in some of his movies. But I think The Happening is a legit baffling misfire where the intentional jokes are the least funny thing about it, and it never comes close to being scary.

The lawnmower, lion, and old lay scenes are comedy classics.

I think the film was basically unsalvageable on many fronts, but the most EGREGIOUS mistake was having "the wind" be the bad guy. Soooo many silly scenes of a gentle breeze in the leaves and folks freaking out.

I'm with you, OP. This movie is so impossibly stupid and I love every minute of it. The climax setpiece is absolutely incredible in how mundane it is.

About the best bad movie there is, it completely fails in what it tries to do, but that makes it hilarious to watch
