Seriously, what the hell?!
Iv'e liked all of Night's films so far (i absolutely LOVED Lady in the Water) but i can't get my head round Happening- is he taking the piss, or what?
The story was interesting but was executed in the most silliest, over-dramatic and cliched way i've ever seen! The acting was beyond awful, i mean what the hell was Mark Wahlberg doing, really? Everyone over-acted, even Zooey Deschanel who i really admire! The movie ranged from decent sequences to just plain pathetic - case in point the lion death- how stupid and ridiculously silly and fake did that look? Whats with the dialogue too? It didn't know what it was- a parody, a comedy- something else? The characters- what was Night thinking? The completely sporadic crazy old lady that is pretty much unexplainable, Zooey's randomly annoying skitso that spouts nonsense, Mark's OTT nerdy character- an over-acted geek teacher which he really can't pull off, i mean seriously, what the HELL?
It's so bad I'm not even going to bother to review it properly, in fact consider this my one and only review of this..."thing"!
Ugh. I just can't begin to comprehend what i just sat through, I really don't know. It feels like I've been slimed. I feel so odd.
