Lazy humor at it's, err, laziest

Country-girl, Gugino meets rock 'n' roller, surfer-dude (comedian Pauly Shore) while attending college in California; they fall in love (for reasons that remain a mystery to the audience) and she brings him back to the farm to meet his future in-laws. Shore spends most of the film's running-time making animal noises and pronouncing words in a unconventional manner because the writers couldn't be bothered to come up with any real jokes.

A wondrously slick, visually awe-inspiring movie. It's a full-throttle action film, and doesn't pretend to be otherwise.

Great Movie
Reviewed by toastyarse for Watchmen at 2009-03-09 21:36:25
I disagree. I think that Snyder is in a no-win situation here. As mentioned, to make a film replicating the entire Watchmen series would be 4 hours ? at least. The alternative was to ?interpret? the series and make it more watchable for people who have never read the book. Of course, had he done this, fans would be enraged that he had prostituted Alan Moore?s masterpiece just to make it ?Hollywood?. Instead, he stuck as closely to the story as he could, crammed as much as possible in under 3 hours and produced what I?m sure most fans would agree, is a pretty great homage to one of the best graphic novels written. Seeing almost exact images from the book translated to the big screen was a thrill and I thought they did a great job. I thought the cast portrayed the ?feel? of the book very well. While the sex scene may have been a bit overdone I thought the overall relationship was just as believable in the movie as it was in the book. Haley played Rorchach to perfection and Patrick Wilson made a good Dan Dreiberg. Having said that, I?m curious to see how people who have never read the book will take this movie. Personally, I think that without the benefit of reading the book and having the entire back story, the movie wouldn?t be nearly as enjoyable. I don?t think this works well as just a standalone movie the way other comic book movies do ? you don?t need to read a Batman comic to enjoy ?The Dark Knight?. As a big fan of the book and of Alan Moore?s work I thought this was a great movie and I can?t wait to see the longer director?s cut.

Entertaining for kids and adults
Reviewed by dj101092 for Night at the Museum at 2008-05-01 21:47:42
My six year old daughter was pretty scared the first time she saw the dinosaur in this movie but everything turned out fine and she has watched this at least 50 times now. Stiller as "Larry" and Owen Wilson as the miniature cowboy are a crack up in their straight-faced take of these ridiculous roles. Enjoyable pretty much from beginning to end even after the 25th viewing.
