we can discuss about this movie for ages. one side would say it was bad, the other one would accuse the first that they didn't catch the message the movie want to give. etc etc etc
i will only ask one thing... when did crossing a message meant that movies can be horrible on all the other aspects, especially entertainment?
you give this movie an average 8.0? what did the movie do? cross a message? that is all it takes today to get 8.0? mind you for the average to be 8.0 many people have voted 10.0, so what about movies that have a message and are entertaining?
nonono my generous friends, this movie does not deserve a 10.0 nor 8.0. i understand you badly want movies that have a message, that ridicule Hollywood and all that is relative, but that is not a reason to give such a high score on such a low entertainment movie.
i give it 1.0 because it was so lame that it made me laugh on some parts, and another 1.0, for a grand total of 2.0, because i laughed even harder when i people say they like this joke of a film.
