might be worth mentioning it's about as boring as a documentary of a making of a behind the scenes of a movie about flies fucking.

This was enjoyable to read, and I almost forgot about this movie. However I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility the Slim Pickens' voiced robot wasn't a coincidence, rather than a very subtle allusion to 7 year olds about the Kubrick/Strangelove/2001 "connection," as you aver. I think he was the just the

Why is it de facto "admirable" to put a lot of women in a movie? Certainly nothing wrong with it, but seems like whatever serves the story best and provokes the biggest laughs should be the yardstick of "admirable" for a comedy, not whatever happens to be the gentialia of its cast. It's like calling "Diner" admirable

This book rules.

It's not his young crush's father. It's a birthday he and his young crush attend.

"just a travesty." No, not a travesty. Look up your 25 cent words before you use them, please.

you actually felt the need to explain this particular actor is better when his face is not obscured by a mask? Is there an actor this would not be true of?

"entourage?" What a load of crap. I don't know if Mike Judge wasn't on the memo you clearly receive telling you what is sacred and what is just okay, but Mike Judge is a pretty heavy hitter, and this show is him operating at 88-95%. Send less love letters to middle of the road crap like "Shameless" and give this

"I think the people who have any kind of power have moral culpability." Yeah, only those people.

Basically, Applegate's window dressing aside (in the first one, I haven't seen the 119 minutes of the second), all the jokes are made by men, and there's not much of a standard to their quality, in my opinion. Some are okay, some less than that. It's a lot of funny, talented guys not trying their hardest but enjoying

This is the second review in a week—Some Velvet Morning being the other—where the critic doesn't think the movie's that great, but probably upon repeated viewings it'll get better. Who watches borderline crappy movies multiple times in the hopes it'll be better the next time. Especially broad comedies. Anyway, 119

I'll be sure to watch this mediocre sounding yakfest twice, on the off chance it might better on second viewing. Labute's talentless.

I remember Rickman as a guest on "King of the Hill" where he played an American masquerading as a Brit.  It didn't exactly matter, but his American accent was Heather Graham in that Jack the Ripper movie horrible.

"Rounders" is some kind of cult classic?  Matt Damon as card sharp with frosted hair?  Malkovich phoning in the silliest performance of his career?  An unbearable Ed Norton?  I do agree I didn't really learn a damn thing about poker.

Huge Mamet fan, saw this in the theater, number of times I laughed: Zero.

"The disconnect between what we’re seeing on screen and how we’re hearing
people react to it underscores the mercenary intentions underneath the
well-meaning façade."  Or it was just a bunch of t.v. hacks doing their job and fumbling with the tricky material.  One of those.

"Realism?"  What the hell movie were you watching?  In "real" life people don't make perfectly worded speeches that sounds like they were handed to them by a chatty screenwriter.  Though I agree the plotline about pretending to be pregnant and where it goes is quite idiotic.

Docudrama?  No, it's not.
