"We can't just stand here as un-involved observers" All the characters' dialogue makes them sound like Cybermen from Doctor Who who weren't fully upgraded.
“My name is Luigi Mario, I’m a Puerto Rican Italian raises by a British Italian who’s both my father and my brother, I’m fighting a germaphobe dinosaur who’s turned Lance Hendrickson into a mushroom and thinks ordering a pizza is funny” that killed me
Makes you realize just how much of John Leguizamo's career is a miracle considering it survived this, The Super Mario Bros movie, The Pest, the Ice Age sequels and Spawn.
Remember back in Part One when Malcolm off-offhandedly says it might be the oranges, but we were so distracted by the wall gag we didn't take notice of it? Once again, the Critic's twist ending is actually better than the one in the Shyamalan film!
But what if they are ALL robots and they’re all dying because a self-destruct sequence was accidentally activated?! (I may or may not have stolen this comment)
actually, I think this movie was ingenious. You see, the people who are infected aren't all the extras, it's the main characters. They've all been infected with something that makes them talk weird and be completely oblivious to everything. But the plants started to release an cure unto the air and people realized that they were in The Happening, and so they killed themselves. But the infected are too oblivious to notice that they are in The Happening, so they don't kill themselves. When they go outside, they are cured, but the effects of the cure take a while to set in, and by that point, the movie will be over and thus they will not commit suicide.
+JohnnyGameGuy I don't doubt it. LSD is actually derived from a certain type of mold. In fact, it's suggested that it was the cause of the Salem Witch Trials. People back then ate bad food all the time, knowingly and unknowingly. The supposed spells and curses people experienced, were simply delusions, brought on by food poisoning.
Jon Bear I went through the exact same thing when I was young. My father noticed a draft in my favorite spot in my room and, lo and behold, it was a mold nest. Mold. It’s evil.
The idea of something unknown causing mass suicides is a premise that does have potential for a good thriller, but it would obviously need to be done TREMENDOUSLY different in literally every way.
Yeah, it's roughly the same fear (an invisible force that's killing people) it's just why it's invisible that's different. I think Triffids has it for scaryness, though, since the idea that they could be anywhere and you can't tell if you're safe because you're blind and they might be in your safe place with you plays on more primal fears than killing yourself for no reason.
It could have been terrifying if it turned out to be that the water supply was poisoned with a drug that made people spontaneously commit suicide. Imagine the madness? People dying of thirst, the panic, etc?
+SpeedyEric1 I feel that if it was marketed as a comedy people wouldn't find it as funny as they would be expecting to laugh beforehand. It's because this film is so serious and was marketed that way, that it catches people off-guard and becomes unintentionally hilarious.
In the original draft of the script that I got to read in early 2008 revealed that the plants were angry at mankind because they forgot the importance of love. Mark Walberg and Zooey Deschanel's characters save the world by showing to the plants that they love each other. Later revisions of the script decided to omit this dialogue and instead "show" you that their love (demonstrated by the mood ring) calm the plants' anger and saved the world. The film was about love triumphing over hate. So much deep.
Wow. No joke, that is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. I mean, why would Walberg and Deschanel’s love calm the trees down? What makes them so special? Aren’t there other couples trying to survive “The Happening” that have less relationship issues? Like the old couple wearing gas masks? Wouldn’t they be more deserving examples? Also, if “the plants were angry at mankind,” why didn’t “The Happening” occur all over the world at once? Were the people in Northeastern America just more deserving of death then everyone else? Finally, if the plants could make people kill themselves, why couldn’t they make people kinder and more loving towards one another? Wouldn’t that make mankind remember “the importance of love?” The explanation for why the trees were killing people is legit the dumbest and funniest part of the movie because it makes no sense whatsoever and just raises more questions. Probably best it was cut from the final “script,” though I would’ve loved to see how it translated onto the big screen and people’s reactions to it. 😂
Lol, then they'd be safe from the plants. And breathing their own recycled air for the rest of their lives. Eh, laser spewing robots and large quantities of toxic waste are probably safer right?
Ok, Critic, THANK YOU for reviewing this. Two days ago, I watched the first five minutes of this review, paused it, and vowed to the movie first because it looked so awful. I had friends over last night, we watched it, and yeah, I can't remember the last time I've laughed so much at a movie. Watching it with a group is honestly one of the best movie-going experiences I've had. So I agree. I'd highly recommend it; it's an amazing movie.
Critic, there was some really bad research there, critical to the review. I mean, the whole review falls apart because you got it wrong. It is a failure on every level. Hot Pockets take 3 minutes AND 30 SECONDS to cook!
Fun fact: "cheese an' crackers" one of the many ways used by Christians to avoid actually saying the name of god ("Jesus Christ"), the other, more well-known example being "Jesus H. Christ." Something is similar is done by Jews, who spell the word "god" (esp. "God") as "G-d."
You are right, of course, though some assumptions can be made (e.g. the writers wanted to avoid offending or thought this was appropriate for some stupid reason or other).
I hope Mark Whalberg knows how lucky he is, not many actors could do that, “taking to the tree’ scene and ever expect to have a career beyond that ever again.
The "Let's go outside, oh the monster is gone!" ending was done much better in The Mist. But that's because Frank Darabont actually knows how to direct people and craft a compelling story.

I think I saw an interview with Zooey once where she talked about how this making this was very weird as Shyamalan kept asking her to essentially do her performance worse. She also subtly hinted she hated this film.
As pointed out in the Rifftrax of The Happening, one of the greatest missed opportunities or sins of the movie is that during the final scene in Paris we don't get a shot of countless people jumping/plummeting off the Eiffel Tower. It wouldn't have saved the movie (not even close) but it at least could've gone out with a crazy, memorable, shocking, and fucked up image
This is my go-to video when I'm having a bad day and need to feel better. The combination between the absolutely ridiculous Shyamalan movie and the hilarious shit you add to it really brightens up my day. Thank you so much.

Seven years later, and I loved your take on this movie! I wish you could've gone over the unaliving scenes, too. There's only so much UA-cam lets people talk about, but the lawn mowing scene is one of the funniest scenes in the whole film.
Weird, I could have sworn the reason they didn't die at the end was because being in a loving state of mind made you immune. I suppose I must have made that up to think there was an explanation.
I really like this style of review; it's like a perfect mixing of old-style "sitting in front of a white wall yelling" and the more sketch-comedy style new stuff. More of this please! :D (although I haven't watched the more recent things, so maybe there IS more of this coming)
Theory someone said in part 1: Maybe the real twist was that they were all androids without fully refined emotional/communication abilities being remotely shut down via suicide, but it was cut out at the last minute or something.
Hey doug. Ik this sounds cheesy and dumb especially w an oneyplays reference as a pfp but i've been getting pretty screwed over recently and I decided to watch your older videos again for nostalgia (ironic) and you've genuinely made my day better thank you
Wait, what IF they were all infected throughout the movie and that's why they were acting so weird all the time, they say it's an event no one would be able to explain, so there wouldn't be anyone to refute this theory, maybe it represents how mankind is "infected" by the worries of their every day lives so they'll seem weird to more laid back people, like those kids he was talking to, and that's why they were killed, because it symbolizes the death of a more eased up view of life at the hands of the daily rutine. Or maybe it's just terrible and egotistical.
To be fair, the math question at the beginning IS a common method used to stop anxiety attacks. Now if only the person in question WAS having a anxiety attack instead of just screaming when seeing a bunch of corpses (natural reaction) this would've made sense!
Regarding the weight of the woman's head, as anyone that has lived in a house that has those type of windows can tell you, a 90 degree hit from a Horsefly can break those stupid things.
Asking increasingly difficult math problems is actually a really good way to get somebody to stop crying/freaking out/panicking. But you gotta start with like, what's 2x2, and go from there. It makes them focus and think on something other than what's going wrong.... It's helpful.
My brother showed me the trailer of "The Happening" back in 2008.The trailer had totally pissed me off for two nights, and I didn't bother to see this full movie.But our great teachers at school are showing us the movie. I was totally horror stricken. That 34 minutes were the most scarie
They paused at the exact same moment where this video started. Hopefully, I will be remembering his reactions. It is a great help for me. Thank you for those hysterical comments you made. Matter of factly I have started to realise the comedy behind ;)
Saw a video saying the twist is that it's a sequel to Signs. All the upward sky shots is suppose to be the Aliens releasing that chemical they sprayed in the kids face in Signs near the end and they don't show up because of the whole water weakness.
Tell me that Marky Mark, or Dead Eyes, or Fucking Hot Dog guy aren't stoned. I don't know why the fuck people are killing themselves. But, these fucking main characters sound like they're high.
Mark Wahlberg: /starts talking to plant/ "So we're just gonna be in and out of here." Plant: "I am Groot." Mark Wahlberg: "We're just here to use the restroom then we'll go. Hope that's okay." Plant: "I am Groot." Mark Wahlberg: "That all you can say?" Plant: "I am Groot." Translation: "Well human as I am a tree you should be pretty impressed that I can even say this much. Seriously, what do you expect me to do? Sing and dance? Do some karaoke? I mean I may not be as famous and rich as you, but at least my acting in this movie is way better than yours and that goes for all the other human characters in this movie." Surprised Critic didn't stick in an I am Groot reference in there during that scene. But in all seriousness this really was a pretty funny movie and I still have its movie poster hanging up in my room for some reason. Anyway, I remember seeing this in theaters and I kid you not everyone in my theater cracked up laughing and I mean everyone. Though some were trying their hardest not to laugh, but I still heard them snickering.
And The Visit was right there, with the crazy lady in the house... Jesus, Shyamalan is recycling his own ideas!!! Comicbook Guy's Voice: "Worst... director... ever!!!!" Ps.: Michael Bay and Roland Emerich beg to disagree...
5:18- 5:26 As someone who actually tried offing themselves three times, this is the equivalent of saying to someone who cut themselves "I understand. I got my cat angry on purpose and it scratched me." And being expected to take them seriously.
"Plant 9 From Outer Space" (an old b/w film) is near many people's list of best "worst film". I seriously got lots of laughs out of it, and was smiling most of the time. Bad dialogue, acting, etc., visible strings above flying saucers, a shower curtain separating an airplane's cockpit from the rest of the plane, and etc. Except "Plant 9" has excuses, as nobody associated with the film was good at what they were doing.
Real Twist : They survived thanks to love (orange color on the mood ring for the first time since they've been together). Trees killed people without it, and without good intentions (who are a threat for The Earth)
"Don't wait the length of microwaving a burrito to sacrifice my daughter to tree demons" I'm dying!
"Don't wait the length of microwaving a Burrito before sacrificing my daughter to tree deamons" I am literally dying right now LMAO
epecially those darn blue beeries.

“It should have been a hot pocket”
could it be that Wahlberg, after reading the script for this movie, actually thought it was some sort of parody and acted so bad on purpose?
+Simon D. Liebert yes
+Simon D. Liebert
Well, wouldn't acting sloppy in a parody wreck the parody? It's a typical Seltzer/Friedberg mistake.
I remember seeing some behind the scenes footage where Wahlberg was questioning Shyamalan's direction and Shyamalan was like "Just go with it, man."

I think Shyamalan should make a comedy. Then again, he probably would make it serious and dramatic.
Which, as we all know, will end up being the most hilarious comedy we've seen in ages.
Which is the inevitable twist

I really like this style of review; it's like a perfect mixing of old-style "sitting in front of a white wall yelling" and the more sketch-comedy style new stuff. More of this please! :D (although I haven't watched the more recent things, so maybe there IS more of this coming)
"Toaster strudel and syrup, oh ketchup and hash browns, rat feces and Denny's" 😂😂😂
"We can't just stand here as uninvolved observers!"
The fuck kinda line was that?! 🤣
Assuming my math is correct, the answer to his math problem would be $21,474,836.47.
Theory someone said in part 1: Maybe the real twist was that they were all androids without fully refined emotional/communication abilities being remotely shut down via suicide, but it was cut out at the last minute or something.
Hey doug. Ik this sounds cheesy and dumb especially w an oneyplays reference as a pfp but i've been getting pretty screwed over recently and I decided to watch your older videos again for nostalgia (ironic) and you've genuinely made my day better thank you
Wait, what IF they were all infected throughout the movie and that's why they were acting so weird all the time, they say it's an event no one would be able to explain, so there wouldn't be anyone to refute this theory, maybe it represents how mankind is "infected" by the worries of their every day lives so they'll seem weird to more laid back people, like those kids he was talking to, and that's why they were killed, because it symbolizes the death of a more eased up view of life at the hands of the daily rutine.
Or maybe it's just terrible and egotistical.
To be fair, the math question at the beginning IS a common method used to stop anxiety attacks.
Now if only the person in question WAS having a anxiety attack instead of just screaming when seeing a bunch of corpses (natural reaction) this would've made sense!
“My fire arm is my friend”! Lol love that line.
The face Malcolm does when he puts that orange in his mouth is just priceless. Gets me every time.
For those wondering, the song in the BG starting at 11:53 is called "Drizzle to Downpour" by Silent Partner.
Thank you god person, you have big pp.
2:53 "I can't just stand here staring wide eyed into space."
+Xehanort10 Of course she can, that's all she does the entire movie.
7:01 - And the Shymalan is like: "THE VISIT."
Regarding the weight of the woman's head, as anyone that has lived in a house that has those type of windows can tell you, a 90 degree hit from a Horsefly can break those stupid things.
When he said "Oh, I know this one! It's "Screw you! Everybody hates math! We're all gonna DIE!" I died laughing.
The Mark Wahlberg kids show
Well even amount of over acting
+SPRBRD Whut? Nhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Is this just Bad Lip Reading The Movie??????
tman008 I wish
I'll admit, the oranges actually being the ones controlling everyone was a pretty good twist.
God, the lemon drink scene. I love that fucking line, especially after the Rifftrax guys turned it into a running joke.
Asking increasingly difficult math problems is actually a really good way to get somebody to stop crying/freaking out/panicking. But you gotta start with like, what's 2x2, and go from there. It makes them focus and think on something other than what's going wrong.... It's helpful.
how did he not call it The Crappening?
Tommy Wiseau: I did not hit her!
Mark Wahlberg: What, no!
Tommy Wiseau: O, hi, Mark!
My brother showed me the trailer of "The Happening" back in 2008.The trailer had totally pissed me off for two nights, and I didn't bother to see this full movie.But our great teachers at school are showing us the movie. I was totally horror stricken. That 34 minutes were the most scarie
They paused at the exact same moment where this video started. Hopefully, I will be remembering his reactions. It is a great help for me. Thank you for those hysterical comments you made.
Matter of factly I have started to realise the comedy behind ;)
Saw a video saying the twist is that it's a sequel to Signs.
All the upward sky shots is suppose to be the Aliens releasing that chemical they sprayed in the kids face in Signs near the end and they don't show up because of the whole water weakness.
The plants are releasing THC into the air. These are the attributes of being stoned on marijuana.
Joseph Willes thank you science
shame shamalanga ding dong doesn't care
Tell me that Marky Mark, or Dead Eyes, or Fucking Hot Dog guy aren't stoned. I don't know why the fuck people are killing themselves. But, these fucking main characters sound like they're high.
Okay I would definitely watch a re-imagining of Reefer Madness directed by Shamalamadingdong, it would be glorious!
Draukagrissah I think we just did....
Nah, not enough reefer, or madness. seriously, have you ever seen that shit. lol
If Glados made this... THERE WOULD BE CAKE!!!
+Fredrik Lind And it would be delicious...and probably taste better than this movie. :p
+Manuel Alberto Romero ...you...you eat movies?
+E-SPACE Productions that's why we have movie recepies ever had an after earth pizza
Addison Thompson No, I try to have GOOD food...
E-SPACE Productions oh shoots fired
I'm not entirely sure what makes it so good, but I think I've just seen the perfect review.
+Erik Felis Catus It wasnt hard with this movie tho. I havent seen acting and dialogues this bad for a long time...
DavisWOW Hah, indeed :D
1:50 If you listen closely, you can hear the cries of the Frozen fanbase.
Let it go.
It was bound to happen. And even the fanbase thinks that Let it go is overused.
I thought of a good twist, what if the toxin was created by the aliens from Signs.
Like a crossover Twist from Unbreakable and Split
9:28
"Who shot this shot?!"
- Chris Stuckmann 😂
Mark Wahlberg: /starts talking to plant/ "So we're just gonna be in and out of here."
Plant: "I am Groot."
Mark Wahlberg: "We're just here to use the restroom then we'll go. Hope that's okay."
Plant: "I am Groot."
Mark Wahlberg: "That all you can say?"
Plant: "I am Groot." Translation: "Well human as I am a tree you should be pretty impressed that I can even say this much. Seriously, what do you expect me to do? Sing and dance? Do some karaoke? I mean I may not be as famous and rich as you, but at least my acting in this movie is way better than yours and that goes for all the other human characters in this movie."
Surprised Critic didn't stick in an I am Groot reference in there during that scene. But in all seriousness this really was a pretty funny movie and I still have its movie poster hanging up in my room for some reason. Anyway, I remember seeing this in theaters and I kid you not everyone in my theater cracked up laughing and I mean everyone. Though some were trying their hardest not to laugh, but I still heard them snickering.
Dam Ivy took things way to far, better call Joker
And The Visit was right there, with the crazy lady in the house... Jesus, Shyamalan is recycling his own ideas!!! Comicbook Guy's Voice: "Worst... director... ever!!!!"
Ps.: Michael Bay and Roland Emerich beg to disagree...
5:18- 5:26
As someone who actually tried offing themselves three times, this is the equivalent of saying to someone who cut themselves "I understand. I got my cat angry on purpose and it scratched me." And being expected to take them seriously.
5:52 Great singing there
If this movie was written by HAL 9000 and GLaDOS, I'd dare think what a movie written by SHODAN would be like.
I never got the concept of unintentional comedies or films so bad they're good... Until I saw this film.
No joke. It was a blast!
"Plant 9 From Outer Space" (an old b/w film) is near many people's list of best "worst film". I seriously got lots of laughs out of it, and was smiling most of the time. Bad dialogue, acting, etc., visible strings above flying saucers, a shower curtain separating an airplane's cockpit from the rest of the plane, and etc.
Except "Plant 9" has excuses, as nobody associated with the film was good at what they were doing.
Shame SNL didn’t follow this up with “Mark Wahlberg Talks To Plants”
Hey there Mr. Tree. I just wanna talk to you. Say hi to your mutha for me.
This movie is tolerable only because Zooey's eyes are two beautiful winter ponds you could drown in with a smile.
This is one of my FAVORITE reviews EVAR!
I've never seen a mood ring chart with "horny" on the list of moods
Roger Ebert said this movie was good.
To that I can only say "What? No..."
3:00
He makes a good point.
That "Oh no" by Lebowski killed me
Real Twist : They survived thanks to love (orange color on the mood ring for the first time since they've been together). Trees killed people without it, and without good intentions (who are a threat for The Earth)
