Pretty fun show!

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2004)

One reviewer left a rather long negative review and I quote a bit here that seemed to summarize the main compliant I'm seeing against this movie:
"It's not a comedy, a romantic comedy a spoof or homage. It simply doesn't know what it is."
Ummmm why exactly is this movies inability to be shoved into one tiny little category a bad thing? I loved the movie because it was not a standard comedy, or a standard horror film, or standard anything. It has the absurd, the painfully mundane, the scary, the sad, the touching, and all that all in one and that is the only reason this movie works.
I think it knew what it was. It was entertainment with some social commentary thrown in without taking itself too seriously ever. No more no less.
It's a good movie, but if you want "Dumb and Dumber." or "28 Days Later" or "Harold and Kumar" this isn't it. It's not a "Laugh-a-minute" movie nor, judging by the audience with me, that scary a movie. But that's good.
I think it's worth the time to see it, though I'm not sure I'd say it's worth the price of a movie theater admission at anything other than the afternoon prices. Not that it's bad, just I don't think seeing it on the big screen is going to add that much more than seeing it on the TV.
But it is good, and I think most people will enjoy it.
