A Happening of Monumental Proportions Ratings & Reviews
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
They all seem to be having a great time, and the result is a winning, lighthearted comedy that addresses real issues related to parent-child relationships - including responsibility and communication - while never getting preachy or didactic.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film is certainly not a colossal failure, but it is something of a disappointment.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
In this exercise in absurdist misanthropy that resembles a failed sitcom pilot, there are some scattered low-brow laughs, but none of the intended redemptive uplift.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Greer certainly knows how to achieve attention through casting, and that's the only reason to sit through the increasingly unfocused endeavor.
Paste Magazine
Oktay Ege Kozak
Greer doesn't rewrite any rules, but though AHOMP might not be a crowning achievement, it's occasionally delightful, frequently funny, and good enough to make me look forward to what Greer will do next behind the camera.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Even if the above factors were clicking on all cylinders, the wrong touch in the editing bay could sink the moment.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
This ensemble film has a slight edge to compensate for its blaring score and comedic misfires.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
There will be worse movies this year yet. But "A Happening" may take the 2018 prize for being the one with the faultiest instincts, and without a single genuine moment.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Overstuffed, undercooked, contrived and tone deaf despite a talented cast.
Newcity
Ray Pride
Cue tonal misfires and a wealth of bumptious music.
Arizona Republic
Samantha Incorvaia
For a large cast of characters played by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, the acting wasn't groundbreaking. But it definitely is charming...
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Judy Greer assembled a monumental cast for her directing debut, A Happening of Monumental Proportions. Then she stranded her fellow actors with material that doesn't even begin to tap into their talents.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
That's not to say it isn't well directed or funny in many instances, only that the material itself is dated, misguided, and mostly presented without any bearing on the over-arching narrative.
Common Sense Media
Michael Ordoña
Language, sexual situations in so-so ensemble comedy.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
A pointless intermingling of stories leading nowhere.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
But neither Greer nor the cast - which includes Katie Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, and an uncredited actor whose appearance toward the end truly surprises - can overcome the limply written dialogue in first-timer Gary Lundy's screenplay.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Seldom has so much name talent been assembled in the service of a film as wan and misguided as "A Happening of Monumental Proportions," a title that couldn't be less apt if it tried.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A Happening of Monumental Proportions is a perfect example of a bad movie happening to good actors.
Film Threat
Tiffany Tchobanian
A Happening of Monumental Proportions pulls no punches. Gary Lundy's quirky characters dare to say and do things people normally shy away from.
