Forget Kung-Fu Panda! Judd Apa-who? M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening steals the crown as the funniest summer movie to date. Improperly marketed as a "horror film" this hilarious, laugh-a-minute comedy packs more chuckles into ninety minutes than Jack Black and Ben Stiller combined!
Some of my favorite parts:
- Casting: Marky Mark as a science teacher. What a riot!
- Funny Faces: Zooey Deschanel's patented "googly eyes" - Hilarious!
- Funny Voices: The "whisper voice" that Marky Mark uses throughout the entire film - Inspired!
- Slapstick physical comedy: The lion scene at the zoo - Oh man, I snorted my Sprite right out through my nose. Hysterical!
- Dialog: You'll have to pick your own favorite here, but lines like "Oh here's a car." as a car drives up, you get the idea. - Knee-slappingly funny throughout.
I don't know how this genius auteur genre-jumps from horror to comedy with such ease (he's like the Coen Bothers!) but boy am I glad he does. This little indian dude knows how to bring the funny, and I for one can't wait for the sequel!
