I agree, if anyone couldn't find some fucking funny or interesting stuff they are just idiots.

I didn't like every short, but it was a cool film and so different than most out there.

I think he wants another Rambutt movie so he can just rinse and repeat his living vicariously each weekend.

I actually think its hilarious that purbeast is going off on this movie so much since he seems to like to defend horribly shitty movies and gets pissed when other people go off about movies in the same way.

Haven't seen the movie but I did enjoy the Half in the Bag review of it.


Don't think they actually saw it either lol

Their review of Grown Ups 2 is amazing.

It's a love or hate, a lot of people hated it. I thought it was much better than the reviews made it out to be. As long as people go in expecting a series of totally unrelated low-brow skits I think there is enjoyment to be had. I thought it was quite funny.

Certainly it was a better movie than Sharknado.

In one skit a guy has testicles on his chin that only his date seems to notice.

In another, a home schooled kids parents are over-protective and by the end his mom wants to give him the high school experience by having him go "all the way" with her.

If you don't think you'd find that funny, skip the movie.

One of the best parts is that it has so many a list actors in it. The guy who put it together did a good job "tricking" them into this movie.

that should tell you how bad it is. i'm very easy please when it comes to movies, since i don't expect every movie to be the next oscar worthy movie, but this movie wasn't even entertaining past the first skit.

i don't care if other people don't like movies i just find it amusing when people bitch about a movie like iron man 3 or transformers 3 not being the next braveheart.

They (the big name stars) were not "tricked" in any sense of the word. Quite the contrary, in fact. The producers and investors were tricked. It's called a "paycheck movie." These actors all know what they are worth according to SAG and they "trick" the producers and investors into funding it. Each actor gets paid based on their current value. The movie gets a huge budget, but costs next-to-nothing to make. You really need to watch the entire 2-part Half in the Bag review of "Jack and Jill." It's like the time you learned that Santa Claus wasn't real :(

After watching that, you'll always be able to see these movies for what they really are. I have reached new levels of cynicism, but I feel like it has really opened my eyes.

Whenever the focus of advertising is what a large star studded assemble they've put together, that's a good hint it's a "paycheck movie." Movies like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day are a couple of the biggest examples of movies that are nothing but collecting paychecks based on the stars fame.
