Flea has ill tidings for it going in and decided to sleep instead. She made the right choice.

I wanted to like it. Everyone kept saying how it was hilarious and filled with satire and a truely "intelligent comedy", etc. This isn't some Titanic-esque counter-culture "That movie sucked!" reaction. I just couldn't get into it.

I did laugh at the bear in the ice cream truck but, c'mon, bear in an ice cream truck. That kind of humor just can't fail!


I waited until I was in the mood for that sort of comedy (because I'm certainly not up for that or Jackass all the time), and I laughed at most of it, if a bit guiltily.

I could have done without the gratuitous fat naked man wrestling scene though.

It only sounds preposterous to you because you don't watch novelas.


Haha, that's simply not true. Frankly you people are lucky I could pull myself away from Acorralada to post.

Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

hahaha, it just occured to me that this thread has somewhat devolved...I often just read the OP and the latest response when I log in.
