I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
