The Happening/YMMV

"Plastic. I'm talking to a plastic plant."
 * Anvilicious: There's plenty of this throughout the film.
 * "You deserve this!"
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: At one point, Elliot decides to attempt diplomacy with a plant. When it doesn't reply, he feels compelled to touch it, presumably to check its pulse.


 * Don't Shoot the Message
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: John Leguizamo's character is the most sympathetic and the best acted in the bunch; of course, this means that.
 * Memetic Mutation "You're trying to steal my lemon drink!"
 * "Hey, guys!"
 * Narm: The entire film. Particularly the lawnmower scene.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: For all the movie's problems, there are a few genuinely creepy/horrific scenes.
 * The phone call . Everything else can be accepted as regular horror movie gore, but damn it, that is unsettling.
 * The old woman walking around the outside of the house and smashing her head against it, finally crashing in through the window. Gahhh.
 * Paranoia Fuel: As stupid as the plot is, trees may seem a little freaky after this movie.
 * So Bad Its Good: The movie is so hilariously awful, one could think that it's really a M. Night Shaymalan satire of horror films; at one point, the characters are menaced by the wind. There's also Mark Wahlberg turning in the narmiest performance this side of Nicolas Cage in The Wicker Man.
 * Multiple internet caustic critics (such as The Spoony Experiment and The Cinema Snob) have legitimately called this one of the funniest films ever made.
