Not all that I expected

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2006)

When I was finally going to see this movie for the first time, I was really excited because of all the good things that I had heard about it. When I got halfway through it, I found myself staring at the ceiling, wondering why it is so important to listen to people discuss pot bellies and the french way to say quarter pounder. I think there were some good scenes and some great one-liners, but the movie could have been at least 45 minutes shorter and had a story line that at least made a little bit of sense before you have to sit through it again just to piece together story. Overall, the idea for the story is OK, but the execution was off. I can see why a lot of people like it, but I think those people have too much time on their hands and need to start thinking about things like why we have a moron president instead of the relevance of a foot massage to shooting Marvin in the face.
