"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

I just got home after treating myself to an entirely forgettable waste of time.
I first went to the IFC theater in NYC since it offered sixteen showings beginning at 10:05 AM. I was shooting for the 4:05 show, but that and seven of the eight following shows were sold out. The only seats left were for the 10:35 showing. So I went to an AMC theater -- the only other venue where it was playing in NYC -- and purchased the last non-disabled seat.
I walked out about an hour into the "Look everyone, this is funny!" production, approximately fifty more minutes than I should have. I need to take better care of my time.
This is the perfect film for people who will either enthusiastically or disingenuously laugh at anything that you tell them is funny. Speaking of which, there was plenty of forced laughter which, given the material, might have been the only options. But there were also large swaths of the audience that remained silent for the time I put myself through involuntary and despairing memories of Gilligan's Island. There is nothing sophisticated or intellectually challenging about what little comedy there is. If you're into reading between the lines, then all you'll see is a blank screen. Which, now that I about it, might be worthy competition.
This is at best a straight-to-DVD production that would otherwise only provoke something other than anemic, self-conscious laughter with the introduction of vast amounts of cannabis.
Whether you value your time, your money, or both, it's simply not worth it. And when you do go and you get that impulse to leave, do it.
