If Only The Nazis Had Been this Stupid...

Seven things I learned from this film:
1)Don't Let The Englishman with the Bad German Accent Do the Talking
2) Don't Pretend You Can Speak Italian at a Paris Movie Premiere
3) Nazis Should Always Supervise French Projectionists
4) Nazis Speak Better English Than Brad Pitt Speaks American
5) Nazi Propaganda Films Are Almost as Violent as This Film
6) I Didn't Know Mike Meyers Could Do a British Accent (Oh Wait, I Did)
7) Brad Pitt is Good When He's Silly
FYI, note to Terrorists: if Obama and his entire cabinet ever attend a movie premiere in Islamabad, this is how to handle things.
In spite of its stupidity and absurdity, and its uber-nerdy film references (wait, nitrate burns 3 times faster than paper? how fascinating) I still more or less enjoyed this film. The film has a few really good (perhaps great) scenes (loved the intro, loved the card game and dug a couple other scenes too). I guess that's a tribute to the talent of Quentin Tarantino, who is on his way to becoming the greatest underachiever in film history.
