"It wasn't a problem, until that no talent a**clown ..."
If there was an award for the movie that stood up to the most repeated viewings, it would be this one. Mike Judge has made the kind of movie where the humor is sometimes dry, but is so incredibly smart that you tend to laugh again and again.The characters in this movie are VERY memorable. Samir is probably the funniest side character in the history of cinema. I've never met an Indian (you know, from India) that was as tempermental as he is, but I hope I do someday. Michael Bolton is awesome. The guy is just totally down on life. The whole cast really shines. Diedrich Bader has a range to his talent that is just amazing (I didn't even recognize him the first two times I saw the film).There really isn't a dull moment to the film. It was cut so well that it just flows from beginning to end. It's almost too short, but that's what makes it so easy to watch again. This is truly a movie that gets funnier the more you watch it. There are little nuances that you tend to notice after repeated viewings.The only real drawback to the film, and the reason it loses a star, is the fact that the extras are really weak. There's nothing here that really heightens your appreciation of the film. I wanted to see deleted scenes (there had to be SOMETHING). I really want to give it five stars, but there are so many other great movies that package equally good extra features.Don't let that deter you from buying the film. It was released to theaters with very little fanfare, so I doubt the studio will bother with a collector's edition. Buy this one now.
