The audience was in stiches the whole movie! The Critics will lose this one!  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-04-2007 02:04 AM                        Sold out of our 7 o'clock show. Had to actually put folding chairs in the theater for people to sit on (don't know why, but the ushers did). I could hear laughter all the way up in the booth!  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-05-2007 05:48 PM                     Mindless entertainment. Oh boy, another movie that will most likely have a sequel. I can hardly wait. Who writes this shit????  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-05-2007 09:36 PM                        Saw most of it yesterday. It was mildly amusing at best, very lame at worst. The rest of the audience seemed to be enjoying it though. I was bored and disappointed, had other things to do, so I left after about an hour, didn't care how it might end.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Raisler Film Handler Posts: 52 From: Warsaw, IN, USA Registered: Jun 2003 posted 03-16-2007 02:03 PM                    Behold the power of the Oprah Winfrey show 1 out of 5 stars. This is entertainment?  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Every time I walk in the theater, everyone is laughing out loud. The parts that I've seen looked pretty funny. I think this is one of those movies that is better to see with a sold out crowd though. I'm not sure that the comedy will translate to the living room screen, but it might. But I did notice that there were practically no kids in this movie. I guess they don't want to see all of the old farts on the screen. But the older crowd really likes it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-17-2007 12:16 PM                        We haven't been able to play this yet (next week, hopefully) but I can't remember the last time I've had so many people ask me when a movie is coming. Even folks who NEVER go to the show are asking about it. So on that basis, I already love it.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-18-2007 05:11 AM                     Enjoyed it, but the important thing is, so did all the couples that came to see it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-06-2007 11:28 PM                        We're in week 2 of this now. It's already in our all-time top ten with 6 days to go. It has some really funny parts (the only one of the stars that really doesn't have much to do is Tim Allen) but there are some really lame parts. My favorite scene is when Travolta looks in his rearview mirror after the bar blows up. A few elements of the movie were too dumb. The "police force" in the small town was too silly. The "bad guy" bikers weren't bad enough. The Greco factor in the last 2 minutes is off the chart though! The ending "tag" was totally stupid. They'd have been better to put a blooper reel on instead. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 for me, with one star added for the fact that it's packin'em in and everyone is loving it.  |  IP: Logged
