What a Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2007)

Not really, but what a load of crap. That is all I can say about this movie. Only in 2 situations did I see the 'ignorance of society' come somewhat to the fore. The rodeo, the 'running of the Jews', the crazy millenarian and feminist scenes are the only amusing and 'revealing' scenes in the entire movie. Otherwise, people reacted how you would generally expect them to in relation to what was happening to them and other times extremely politely.
There is no social commentary or insightful satire in this movie. I know it is cool to be anti-American and whatnot at the moment...I hate the current U.S government as much as any central European does (note I say GOVERNMENT).
I was expecting this movie to be rude, which is completely acceptable and sometimes necessary. But it is ONLY rude and disgusting with 1 or 2 funny bits thrown in. Why was the wrestling scene necessary? Do not believe the hype for this movie. If you go in expecting masterful comedy, you will likely be bitterly disappointed. Either that or you are really into gross, yet disappointingly unfunny, jokes.
