Worst use of a R rating: “The Happening”

There was a lot wrong with M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller misfire. Mark Wahlberg talking to plants. People running in terror from the wind. Zooey Deschanel’s secret involving tiramisu. But nothing was more disheartening than Shyamalan utilizing his first R-rating so poorly. He really couldn’t think of anything to top death by lawnmower?
