Now That's Entertainment!
...not to be confused with Art, mind you. There are two types of motion pictures that are made. One is movies as Art. Two is movies as Entertainment. I guess there's room for a third, Education, but I think even most documentaries are meant as a form of Art. Anyway, this movie is pure entertainment at its best, the same way Action movies like Terminator or The Rundown are, whereas Alien or Gladiator have more of an artsy edge.Of course this movie is kind of stupid. Its not much on plot--its a classic story of the little nerdy guy Vs. the big bad cool bad guy, although the cool bad guy in this movie is actually kind of a homo-erotic, quasi-retard who is extremly shallow, and the good guy isn't really a nerd, just an "Average Joe" who has a shot to make it big and is willing, although rather reluctantly, to go the distance. When ya get right down to the nuts and bolts, this movie is full of hilarious crude little jabs that make ya laugh a little here and there, and enough comedic right-hooks that will leave you laughing your @$$ off. Its Hollywood, thats for damn sure, so don't go expecting anything smart or wicked. Its good, in-your-face comedy, the kind ya need to get high or drunk to every now and then just for a good time.
