A sweet, introspective, and touching story serves as the heart of this outrageous and twisted dark comedy.

It’s occasionally delightful, frequently funny, and good enough to make me look forward to what Greer will do next behind the camera.

Judy Greer, the wonderful film and TV actress, makes an inauspicious directing debut with this unevenly paced, tonally awkward comedy.

In the case of the awkwardly titled, swing-and-a-big-miss workplace comedy A Happening of Monumental Proportions, there are numerous scenes so tone-deaf, so off-putting and fundamentally unsound in structure and dialogue, the execution of those sequences is doomed from the get-go.

It is a tremendous disappointment to find such estimable folk meandering in an only intermittently amusing story of no clear point or theme.

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.

I need to therefore believe Judy Greer selected it as her directorial debut because she thought she could somehow infuse a little satire and approach highlighting examples of masculine vulnerability — a goal that was sadly not achieved.

It was a silly, odd, comedy/drama, that never really settled on a definite tone, and didn't have a coherent theme. So, while maybe being a directoral, or writing "failure" by the critics, it was still decently enjoyable to watch with such a large and talented cast, occasionally saying funny things, with some occasionally decent moments. I really liked the setting and the premise, and while the tone shifting was odd, I still enjoyed both the silly and the serious. If you like Judy Greer's sense of humor, and odd comedy/drama's you may find some slight enjoyment as a viewer. I wouldn't say it was as bad as the critics have it at. But as a piece of art it certainly is not Oscar worthy.
