Fun, silly, pretty clever - calm down

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2016)

First off, everyone giving 1 star reviews, has an agenda. Period.
What is this?
Well, it's different that's for sure, but the closest I can relate it to is Shrek 2 Nights. Or South Park with more surreal stuff. If you remember some of that humour of tose, crank it up a bit, add swearing and randomness, you're getting there.
It's good.
It's a bit crass, but if you were anything like our cinema audience today, different scenes will appeal to you more than the others. For my sins, the street scenes I thought were the funniest. I'd like to think I'm cerebral but that's gone now.
It's funny.
OK, it's got a few sly jokes about religions in there - 1 star reviews on IMDb would've been flying around for the Life Of Brian because of similar mockery had IMDb been around in the 70s - but it's got just as many gay characters - gay food! - being provocative, it's not all god-bashing filth. It's gender-bashing filth too. It's not all about you God!
Look, take religious intolerance and homophobia out the question.
This film has Edward Norton as a bagel, called Sammy Bagel Junior. That's funny.
And.
It's clever.
Come on, Saving Private Ryan references? Slasher movie references? Top Gun references? Pixar references? References to their own previous movies?
Can you remember how excited we all were about the Simpsons movie? It was Under The Dome with Homer and it disappointed.
This is good, clever, silly, irreverent, blasphemous (perhaps) and did I say funny?
It's such an easy, flippant thing to say to people who have serious issues with religious debate, or sex, or swearing, or decency to say lighten up.
But, lighten up. It's a party!
