New York Post - Kyle Smith
: No one will watch any of Shyamalan's recent films twice. A movie that features Wahlberg suggesting everyone try to outrun the wind can barely be watched once.

The idea behind "The Happening" is wonderfully enticing, but the delivery and direction are lacking. The best part of the movie is the first five minutes. | | | | Reply | | |

I think the movie is excellent because it allows the viewer to experience something very different from the day to day experiences of ordinary life. | | | | Reply | | |

I love this movie. It is a suspense movie. It keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what the heck is going on. | | | | Reply | | |

This movie is terrible. The script is horribly written, the film is horribly directed and the acting is absolutely disgusting. | | | | Reply | | |
