I think the fact that Ebert didn't like it means it's going to be awesome.

Since he gave the Crappening 4 stars.

- Wait, seriously? I said it on FB earlier, but it bears repeating...NO credibility, at all. - Stephen Jun 24, 17:43 18
  - He's not. He loves movies and also knows that his reviews have no effect on how much any one will make. - the liioulu with empty gelato cup Jun 24, 17:59 17
    - He panned Star Trek and gave The Crappening 4 stars...maybe he does love movies...crappy ones. - Stephen Jun 24, 18:29 16
      - Just for accuracy's sake, he gave The Happening 3 stars, and Star Trek 2 1/2. - Reagen Jun 24, 18:41 9
        
        The Happening: Ebert: 3 stars, Users: 2.5 stars. nm - Dignan Jun 24, 18:48 4
        
        ok, ok! On Netflix it shows him giving it 4 stars!!! - Stephen Jun 24, 18:52 1
        
        He didn't give it 4 stars though. :P -- nm - Redmond Jun 24, 18:59
        
        Though most films will tend towards the mean in a group vote. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 18:51 1
        
        Year One: 1.5 stars. nm - Dignan Jun 24, 18:54
        
        Star Trek -- (link) - the liioulu with empty gelato cup Jun 24, 18:44
        
        According to his review that's linked on Netflix he gave the Happening 4 stars. -- nm - Stephen Jun 24, 18:44 2
        
        And i'll just throw this out there again... "The performances by Wahlberg and Deschanel bring a quiet dignity to their characters" - Stephen Jun 24, 18:46
        
        The Happening -- (link) - the liioulu with empty gelato cup Jun 24, 18:45
      - he didn't actually pan ST, he did say they could've done better. - the liioulu with empty gelato cup Jun 24, 18:40
      - Then he would love Transformers 2 -- nm - Redmond Jun 24, 18:36 4

        It was a joke :) I know he didn't like it. -- nm - Redmond Jun 24, 18:43 2
        
        oops! ;) - the liioulu with empty gelato cup Jun 24, 18:46 1
        
        I just wanted to take another swipe ant TFORM2 -- nm - Redmond Jun 24, 18:55
Dude Ebert is the Oracle of Movie Taste on this one. I actually can't wait for you two to see it. I have military hatey in this movie. - Redmond Jun 24, 17:35 5
- Will be seeing it Friday. I look forward to discussing it with you too! - Dr.Vermin Jun 24, 17:43 1
  - I wish I had low expectations going into this. I will say this. It has 30 minutes of Bonerdom. - Redmond Jun 24, 17:47
- We'll probably see it on Friday. - Stephen Jun 24, 17:36 2
  - And wait, wha? You have military hatey in this movie? - Stephen Jun 24, 17:37 1
    - It's not hate for the military. Just how they are used. No more talk about it, wait until I can talk spoilers. -- nm - Redmond Jun 24, 17:38
Between that and Remond hatey, I look forward to my man-date. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 17:34
