Caught me by surprise

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2010)

Everything already said has been said. I caught this movie as a second choice today as what I wanted to see was not available. I was "aware" of DM but the marketing never intrigued me to make the effort to see it. Toy Story 3 and Inhception are my 2 favs so far but this gave it a good run for top 2. My vision doesn't allow me to adjust to 3D well and I almost left during the previews. Thank goodness I didn't. Once the feature started my vision adjusted and thought the beginning sequence was odd and intriguing. On the visit to the Bank of Evil and you see the former title of the bank name I thought to myself this just might be for me.
As I giggled myself silly from scene to scene I caught myself thinking about just how funny some of the earlier scenes were and when it was quiet in the theater I was still giggling. The very odd character story line yet familiar looking characters blended well from scene to scene. The pleasant surprise reminds me of when I saw the original "jackass" movie. I had never seen the TV show and had a little familiarity with what it entailed. My son was too young to see it at the time and he was in another theater with his buddies watching something I had no interest in. "Jackass" is simply that in a nutshell, however something struck a chord with me and my screwed up youth. Very stupid, very funny, yet highly entertaining. There were times I couldn't catch my breath from the insanity and i feel that same way with DM. Worth every penny and a very worthy "Blindside". Looking up the writers and directors I'm very impressed with the quality of what some "newbies" to the biz have given us. I look forward to the future screenings of their work.
