I saw it early, thinking I was going to beat the crowds. Of course I wondered if there would even be many to see it, let alone the same time as me.
Well, guess what?
It was packed, which is good for a 4:45 time slot around these parts.
So here goes nothing: I loved the shit out of it. Was it corn at times? Oh, hells yeah. Good corn, mmmm.
Also, I wondered if the red band trailer would ruin it, which is often the case, but was farther from the truth. When they showed a part that was a big laugh in the trailer, everyone was still guffawing and knee slapping the bejesus out of themselves, even though they knew exactly what was up. That says alot.
Now, I will say alot of them were Pineapple Express fans, but a full theater of contented patrons speaks for itself.
With Arthur, Hanna, and Soul Surfer out the same weekend, this will be tough. I bet it holds its own.
The paper totally razzed on it today, but I'm afraid I must disagree. Sling Blade it is not. A movie for thirty/forty something 80's sci-fi lovers it be.
Unless you just prefer a corncob up your ass, I'd say... if you let go, then you might just have a swell time.
And I've always had major wood for Natalie Portman. She reminds me of a more waifish, and much less psychotic, version of an ex of mine.
I also saw this by myself, which was nice. Just a few strategic puff puffs, and I was good to go.
Solid B+, an A if you're down with all of it.
