Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Combining the most cliched tropes of dysfunctional family comedies and wacky road movies, Ryan Jaffe's debut feature manages to squander the talents of several notable actors.

"This Is Happening" operates at such a negligible pace it barely qualifies as a moving picture.

rotten:
"This is Happening" leans too much on ungrounded comic antics for the performers to be completely successful, but they give it their all.
