We had the dubious pleasure of watching a truly dreadful film on TV recently. It was called The Happening - that's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Some bad films can be so bad that they come out the other side and become a thing of glory and wonder but this one is just plain old bad. Unfortunately we were sucked in by a quite good opening few minutes and an accidental glimpse of the only funny bit in the film where the main character tries to talk to a plastic plant.
But why was it so bad? It's difficult to know where to start, the bad acting? The bad dialogue? The bad plot? In fact these three elements combine to produce a synergistic badness that is much worse than the sum of the parts.
But still not bad enough to be good!
