Oh and if you do decide to see it, don't see it in 3d as some of the special effects become a blurry jumble as the film only had the 3d aspect tacked on at the end of production after the success of Avatar. Overall I think it was an average popcorn flick with cool special effects, but no real energy or excitement to keep you engaged.

After reading the reviews I went back and returned my ticket before going in. I spent the afternoon enjoying the great weather. Life is too short for bad movies.

I saw Clash of the Titans a few hours ago in 2D thanks to the above post. It was about what I expected, nothing mind blowing but a decent action flick.

I just watched The Slammin' Salmon today because it came out on Redbox. It was definitely a good movie, wasn't mind blowing at first glance but enjoyable at least. If I had to rate it up against other Broken Lizard flicks such as Super Troopers it would lose out (probably because I still love Super Troopers after all these years) but it wasn't that bad.

Super Troopers in one of my favorite comedies, it was our go to late night drunk movie during my senior of college. But it took me a couple of viewings before I really found it funny. I kind of felt the same way about Beerfest.
So, I really want to see this but I know I'm going to need to be drunk.

saw hangover last night. really didnt get all the hype. id give it a C. not bad but i was expecting something more comedically developed. the dialogue wasnt smart, funny and there were zero good one liners.

they had a good base set up and plot for situational comedy but failed to develop it. they find a baby the next morning, oh thats the stripper you married last night baby.

you gave your wedding ring that your grandmother had thru the holocaust to the stripper but it was meant for your fiancee? no worries, we wont address that or devot any of the plot of you trying to get the ring back.

tiger in the bathroom? oh that mike tysons, were going to show a whole 15 second security video clip of you guys laughing to cover the implied hilarious situation that unfolded where you end up with a tiger in your bathroom.

the movie just failed to deliver imo.

they had a good mixed cast of characters (uptight dentist, recluse odd ball brother in law, the cool good looking down for whatever guy best man, then the committed responsible but still cool husband to be) but their contrasts were never really utilized beyond sporadic moments of "i cant believe you did that".

idk the movie just failed to live up to what i was expecting. i was expecting a gut buster but instead got a waterdowned script that fast forwards thru much of the scenes that could have been funny.
