What is the matter with everyone?

Rating: 5/10 (2 March 2003)

How could the word "genius" come to mind when watching this film? All you have to do is take a stupid plot and mix it with some dead beat characters that yell a whole lot. This movie should not be on the top 250 list, nor anywhere close. You have to think when you finish watching this movie "Why is this a great film? What did I learn from this?" then you will understand. I laughed maybe twice during the whole movie. John Goodman's character's lack of not being able to see the scale of problems is not funny at all, more irritating than anything else. It's hard to sit through 2 hours of listening to him spit out the "genius comedy" lines that people on here keep raving about. These lines are not more that phrases that literally don't make any sense and the only reason people will think they are funny or repeat them because they have no place in any movie. For instance, what is "the bar eats you" line? Now some of you can overanalyze this into making some sense but I am sure that it was written to be just another stupid line that was said with hopes of being overanalyzed into something that made sense. Don't believe the reviews on this page, you really shouldn't waste your time with this one. That's about all I have to say, I feel I have wasted enough time on this movie already by watching it.
