don't expect much and maybe you will like it.

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2008)

I had high expectations for this movie since they started hyping it over the winter. So I saw it and I was utterly disappointed. It seemed like an unfinished movie. editing was terrible. there was no continuity between scenes. things just happened then they smoked and went somewhere else and smoked and so on. a lot of the movie was just them smoking and trying to be funny. When I was watching it, I felt like all the funny scenes were shown in the preview already. Nothing really made me laugh. a couple chuckles here and there and a funny reference to a Rancor from rotj. other than that it was rather boring. I know there were being innovative with the whole cross genre thing, but the blood and gore didn't really fit well in the movie. The one good thing that stood out was James Franco. His character was greatly intriguing maybe because I have never seen him play a role like this and it was refreshing. he did a fine job. However, Seth Rogan was horrible. His whole look at me I'm a stoner and I'm proud so I write movies about it and then write myself into the lead role thing is tired and boring. This is definitely his worst screenplay yet which is a shame because it is his best idea yet. granted, I didn't get stoned to see the movie so maybe that is why I disliked it so. still, I lauhged more at Gigli.
6/10 bonus points for the rancor reference.
