The Happening: Mostly Met with Disappointment
Deschanel plays Alma Moore [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wife of Elliott (played by Mark Wahlberg). Plenty of drama is written into the script for her character: the marriage is rocky, in addition to the inexplicable piles of dead bodies all around them. She is even given responsibility for the care of her friend’s child in all the chaos. Despite all this, Deschanel plays the role with a literally incredible lack of emotion, hardly giving expression throughout the entire movie. As one of the key characters, her performance is quite a drain on the suspense of the already underwhelming plot.

The Happening (2008)
Not Much Happens in Ridiculous 'Happening'
The telling factor of a genius performance is here. Anyone else in that role would have entirely altered the movie, and for the worse.
What’s the Difference for Zooey?
There’s no way around it: Go-Getters is a strange movie. It’s slow, and involves long stretches of trials for its ever-pondering protagonist. It is a movie about real life, and it does a fabulous job in achieving the feel that these very events could be taking place next door to the audience. Deschanel plays Kate, the somber love interest of Mercer (played by Lou Tyler Pucci). She is completely adorable in this role, which includes some whimsicality, and a lot of wide-eyed searching. The character is well-rounded, and Deschanel is able to make her very real and accessible.
Zooey Deschanel is known for her deadpan performances in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Eulogy, and Almost Famous. Her best known role was opposite Will Ferrell in Elf, where she showed off her expertise in cutesy mystique. Her latest role in The Happening shows a different side.
The Go-Getters: A Small-Budget Display of Humanity
Perhaps lost without her humor and suddenly required to show an emotion other than resignation, Deschanel has proved herself to be an actress with limited range. The Happening’s release will therefore mark a low day not only for M. Night Shymalan fans [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also for Deschanel fans everywhere. Is this simply the risk taken with trying a new type of role, or will this performance put a damper on her career?
M. Night Shyamalan started out his career with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two huge hits starring Bruce Willis. Does it get any better than that? Apparently not, as his movies have been on what many perceive as a downward spiral ever since The Village. The Happening was released on DVD October 7, 2008, and already reviews are grim.
