and not treat every movie like it needs to be revolutionary. I saw on rotten tomatoes that is currently has a 19% which brings me to the conclusion that RT is ran by a bunch of know-it-all-lacking-a-funnybone-takes-films-way-to-seriously-jerks-who-need-to-learn-to-laugh. I give it at least an 7-10. Not too bad.
"Whoo! Whoo! Hey, Parny. I'm going to Chicago, baby! I'm driving a stick!"
well I still laughed a lot, a lot, a lot actually. I guess the fans of this film (myself included) have the ability to turn our brains off and just enjoy the film.
"Whoo! Whoo! Hey, Parny. I'm going to Chicago, baby! I'm driving a stick!"
Absolutely. Not every movie is going to be Citizen Kane. That would be boring anyway. Most times, I just want to kick back and enjoy escapist fare. This fits the bill for me.
Would not have been 'that bad' if it was a ten minutes SNL sketch. Thats about as long as Tracy Morgan can entertain with his schtik before it comes across as 'one trick pony'. Bruce Willis phones it in as straight man in this formula buddy movie. Everybody has their ' heart of gold' routine going, even the trophy wife of the guy who shouldnt be able to score a trophy wife. The bad guys are stereotypical uber bad guys with no sense of humor at all, downright cruel and vicious, yahh thats what I like in a comedy, cruel and vicious characters. IMDB is for discussion about movies, what we like, what we dont like, whats good, bad and what really sucks, IN OUR OPINION. Not gonna knock your opinion that something is 'not bad', I fully believe you think it was ok, but you get to deal with my opinion that it was trying to give me the 'same old, same old spoonfed drivel'. Opinions are not that bad, learn to appreciate that others have opinions too. ;)
"Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that" reply share
granted I made an over the hill observation, but the RT score was way to low! I take other opinions very seriously only when the negative opinions actually note the flaws, most however do not they usually consist of "This movies sucks!" or "Worst movie ever!" You have actually listed what you see as flaws and faults, so yeah my origianl post was written fifteen minutes after I finished the film and I was just amazed at the Rotten Tomatoes score, which I think is unfairly low.
"Whoo! Whoo! Hey, Parny. I'm going to Chicago, baby! I'm driving a stick!"
Yeah, agreed. I was expecting it to be awful but it wasn't too bad. I never laughed out loud but I smirked a few times, and until it got into all the shooting at the end it was pretty entertaining. I watched it after a pretty *beep* day though...
