The Happening

The Happening

Who's in it: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, Ashlyn Sanchez, John Leguizamo

What's it about: Something is happening to the Northeast part of the United States. An airborne toxin is taking over and causing people to kill themselves. Elliot(Wahlberg) and Alma(Deschanel) are escaping New York with Julian(Leguizamo) and his daughter Jess(Sanchez), but Julian decides to go back for his wife when he loses contact with her. Leaving Jess is his friends hands, the 3 leave to Pennsylvania, only to meet more of intoxicated persons. It seems like they will never find an escape.

What I Think: Personally, this movie was great. I was so intent on figuring it out, only to be stunned by the ending. My boyfriend was completely confused and hated the whole movie. Wahlberg was an amazing actor. Sanchez, however, could've used a little more teaching. When you learn to cry, then you become a great performer. I thought that a child like her would've been able to perform such a feeble task as to cry. Anyways, great movie. Definetley one for the books.
