I actually liked it. Characters were a bit strange, but interesting story.

I like the less chaotic 'end of times' migration, not sure why it's always portrayed as kill or be killed, as people would still have a bit of civility left while questioning wtf is going on.

I sure as hell liked it better than that last James Bond, even though it's not in the same genre.

This to me had the feel of Twilight Zone, and was a decent watch 6/10, not bad....surely not as bad as the reviews I have seen here.

Kudos on inventing something new.

No matter what you say, it's as bad or worse than people have said about it on here. I walked out of the theaters laughing at how pitiful that was.

That is what saved it for me. I enjoyed the humor of the whole situation. I enjoyed the Happening as more of a strange comedy.

Yea, pretty much. I enjoyed The Happening more than Jennifer's Body though.

Outside of the eye candy, Jennifer's Body was much worse than The Happening.

There were parts of Jennifer's Body that were highly entertaining due to the terrible writing.

I can totally relate. I'm a SyFy low-budget movie geek. Lol any low-budget zombie film, I've watched it and enjoyed it.

I thought The Happening was a fairly ok movie. Nothing great but not horrible either. It wasn't as bad as many claimed it was and it should be watched for the type of movie it is, not some all out horror movie people were wanting it to be.

Jennifer's Body was supposed to be campy and stupid.

Zoey Dechenels character made me want to kill a puppy in that movie...


shes cheating on Marky Mark and then has the balls to say "why are you being like this" when he gets mad.

she is what ruined the movie....

Worst movie I have ever seen. I don't know how anyone can say that it was anything better than atrocious.

I have not liked a single aspect of the film- not even the performances by the actors. It was disgusting and a waste of time completely.
