Stupid, gratuitous violence...

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2008)

that I enjoyed very much. This is definitely a guy movie where your willful suspension of disbelief will be thoroughly tested. If you can get through the movie without saying "Bogus!" more than once or twice you're doing very well. However, the main character is fun and appealing, even though he starts out as a wuss. So too is Angelina Joline, although she looks almost as emaciated as a holocaust survivor (Come-on eat a cupcake or something!). She does a good job with her character throughout the film. There are times where the plot or dialog are so outlandish that I found myself smiling at the screen out of amusement. "The Godfather" or "Gone with the Wind" this film is not. It won't receive any awards, and it doesn't deserve them, but it is a fun movie and a good way to spend a hot humid summer afternoon if you and a couple of your buddies are looking to get out of the house. It's so short you'll have time to get a beer afterwords.
