I can only see a single redeeming quality in this movie, and that’s a joke that I saw done better on an avatar.

Saw it last night and was disappointed it wasn’t as horribly bad as I hoped. I liked the Liev Shreiber/Naomi Watts part. It was like the ridiculous ideas in Family Guy (which I enjoy – part funny and part cringeworthy). And the whole aspect of how did they get stars to do this?

AlohaBear32, that’s really not likely. The movie is going to make money. It’s not going to bring in a lot at the box office, but when it only cost $6 million to film, it will make a profit.

Sounds like a bad version of the Aristocrats joke.

Hee. That’s what I thought of as soon as Dennis Quaid starting talking.

Well I’m young and immature and I thought it was quite funny.

I think it became more funny the more time passed and I looked back on it vs. how it was when I was ACTUALLY watching it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie
