Ok, so my husband and I finally saw the movie this weekend. After everyone saying it was so great, we expected to laugh more than 5 times. But we only laughed 5 times. There were a few funny parts, but there was no significant plot lines and the characters were boring and uninteresting. I can't think of any lines that were funny enough to quote, like everyone else does. It was basically a day in the life of an idiot -- like "Dumb and Dumber", but not funny. We asked ourselves if it was us; if we just weren't in a laughing mood or something. But we found ourselves checking the elapsed time on our DVD player so we knew how much longer we had to suffer through it. At about 40 minutes in, we agreed that there was no significant plot, and we'd be really pissed if we'd paid to see it in a theater.
I think you figured out the key to why so many people love it. There's no real point. It goes nowhere. I remember thinking that the first time..."when's this gonna end?" But some things were so...unique about it. When I saw it again, I liked it a bit better. Each viewing has made it easier to swallow.
*I am currently sick of it, but I do not hate it.
well, there is the whole coming-of-age plot...
Ehhh, I still think it was bad. Donovan has some anger about it and he said he'd log on to voice it. I can't wait to hear what he has to say.
lol, maybe it hit too close to home for you guys?
jk
;)
Maybe we just couldn't relate. I don't know. I don't understand why everyone thinks it's so great. It seemed like a waste of an hour and a half to me.
the whole thing is yuo have to have that cheesy sense of humor to get it. not all like it but a lot of peeps went in with HUGE expectations.....and when i suggest that ones will like it i jsut tell them to not expect anything but lameness but thats what makes it.
I loved it and bummed you guys didn't see the lame humor.
You expressed my thoughts so well. Thanks, G!
Oh, I met this other gina at the wedding I was in. Cool girl. I want to be friends with her.
;)
WOW check you out! thats cool!!! did you get a #???
I don't know if I laugh at lame stuff, per se. It's not like it wasn't my kind of humor, I didn't think it was any kind of humor.
whoa whoa, take it easy.
its true though, people that like their entertainment to be prepackaged and predigested won't like this movie.
I guess I'm dealing with Monty Python fans, here.
i guess, so
Monty Python is on a totally different level. That stuff is classic.
I liiiike chinese i like chineeeeeeeeeesssseee
no one expects the spanish inquisition
it wasn't supposed to be funny at all, that's not its purpose. the purpose of this movie was so we could understand how wierd people live, and not be so racist against them. invite them to your home, play with them, tickle them, swallow them. they have hearts too, don't shoot their cow for your hamburger, let them shoot it first
Ben, my sister and I watched it together and none of us enjoyed it.
Good, that makes me feel like Don and I aren't the only ones.
I didn't like it either
i hated it.
except.... for the whole thing, but yeah, i still hate it. part of it. none of it. no i hate it i promise this time. wait. ok now.
Oddly enough, I agree with you on this one. It's unique and it did coax a few snickers outta me, but I don't see what all the hubub's about. It's decent...
Hmm I laughed from the moment I saw Napoleon in THAT OUTFIT and those boots standing outside his house. Laughed really loud. And laughed until the very last moment, pretty much nonstop. Laughed at every grunt, at every "YES!" and oh man laughed at the length of the phone cord.
I love this movie
either you find it hysterical or you don't...it's really not that complicated.
squared (double post) oooops
triple post actually
i had like a 46 extra posts. i dunno what's going on. i know how to avoid it now tho. lol. and, yes, either you love it or hate it.
ezabel is constipated.
haha. just click Post once! or hit Ctrl-Enter once! that's all there is to it folks.
thats exactly how i'm dealing with it, lol. even if the effects of your pressing it ONCE aren't instantly apparent--DO NOT mash the submit button.--STOP, REFRESH! it'll show. thank you Ian. lol
the post a comment box doesn't disappear tho...trust me ezabel works funny around here. todd can attest to it. i'll be logged in as myself and then click home and it says welcome flomojopoanode.
What?!?! Wow. That is some wacky proxying they have going on there, then. Ugh.
is forreste using Google Web accelerator? I've read about this problem....
i don't know what that is. i have the google toolbar...
well, it could be any proxying service provider... ohhhh you and todd work at the same place... yeah, that explains it.
I laughed like once..and faked about 15 other laughs.
nerdy white guy in sweatsuit all gangsta.. can we get anymore lame?
The most over done joke in the world.
though I find myself using a line or two in life because i'm bombarded with it everywhere and those dance moves are like sweet nectar juices.
