BUMP.
Went to go see this last night. Of course, I wasn't able to get in and sit with my friends, but while fuming on the curb outside, I overheard someone saying it was hilarious. They also mentioned something about James Franco being awesome in it. Hopefully I'll get to see this soon enough.

This is a very disappointing movie. I expected so much more. It has some funny spots, but mostly it goes for the cheap laugh and ends up with very peculiar violence. Ed Begly Jr. was given a very small part that he makes the most of, but then he disappears from the movie. There is an actor whom I have never seen before who has a great scene as a high school teacher who appears to be younger than his students, as he tries to emulate them. Franco is good as the low level drug dealer, but the writing of his part is too weak for his acting. Seth Rogen is best when his character is doing things that are subordinate to the plot. In the end of the movie they have him engaged in a brawl that starts out with him carrying more weapons than Stallone did as Rambo. Sorry, when you have comic characters step out of character and start performing heroic deeds you stand the movie's logic on its head. Abbott and Costello were funny becasue they couldn't rescue the heroine, or themselves. If they did it was because a flour sack fell on the bad guy's head, not because they blew him away with a semi automatic. Some "B" actor with a moustache and shoulder pads in his suit had to save them. Mrs Cubbieblue said that I probably would have liked "Mama Mia" more. She is probably right.

Oh yes. Like "Tropic Thunder" this movie starts with a prologue that is funnier than the movie that follows it.

That's Joe Lo Truglio. He also was in Superbad, playing the creepy guy who hits Seth with his car and then takes the two of them to a party.

Yeah, I thought this movie was awesome. All kinds of it. I think Stew is taking it a little too seriously, but it's entirely possible that there was no way I wasn't going to enjoy this one.
That sentence made no sense.

I'm guessing it all fucking sucks based on this review.

I haven't seen this movie. I haven't seen Superbad, either. There's a good chance that I'll never see either of 'em.

Saw it and then immediately bought the soundtrack. Or was that Top Gun? I think it was both, actually. And you can throw Three Ninjas Kick Back in that mix, too.
