Rating: 3.0
So bad it's hilarious!!! Perfect if you like goofy escapism.
This is a hard movie to recommend because people either love it or hate it, depending on how seriously they take it. I would actually give it 4 stars but I know it's not for everyone. The two protagonists'perceptions and values are never meant to be taken seriously. Even an old lady in the movie mutters "effing stoners!" as she passes the heroes. As a woman, the overt silliness of the sexist stereotypes did not offend me in the least. Every character was a two-dimensional stereotype, hilariously so. I'm a big fan of The Naked Gun movies and Bill and Ted. While this movie is more like Bill and Ted, it's sheer goofy jokes reminded me of the over-the-top humor of The Naked Gun. We are laughing at how stupid these guys are and how stupid everyone else in the film is. That's the point. If you keep that in mind, it's a very funny ride. My fiance and I watched it at the end of the Sept 11 week. We needed an escape from the intensity. It left us both on the floor laughing. It was the perfect prescription for taking a break from reality.
