I laughed too but the last 30 minutes were <SPOILER> BORING AS FUCK </SPOILER>. I was seriously drowsing off. The best joke in the entire movie is Mr. Black's mexican accent and even that gets old.

hmm... is it worth seeing?

I'm probably just going to see it anyways, even if I only hear bad things about it. It's just one of those ones that I'm going to see someday even if I don't want to. And I want to.

It's worth it, the movie is hilarious here and there. Just don't expect too much.

I'm gonna have to disagree. It's pretty frickin' terrible. It reminds me of last year's worst movie, Kicking and Screaming, in that both films decided they didn't need a script, and that their usually funny lead actors would just kind of "make it funny." This is not as bad as that (which was a cinematic cigarette burn to the eye), but flopping around in the same swamp. D.

I'm really cranking out the D's this summer, and I haven't even seen Click!

It's entertaining, but kind of two steps forward and one step back for Jared and Jerusha Hess. There are too many cooks in the kitchen: Mike White, the Hesses, and Jack Black created an uneven movie that has some appeal but it's spread a little thin. There's a crapload of ADR in the movie and that really bugged me. Really, really bugged me. Sound effects especially.

This was funny. I laughed many times. Even at the fart jokes.

This movie was terrific. Absurd, retarded, over-the-top, hilarious. I just hope no one sees it with pretenses of it being anything more than elegantly-filmed slapstick/gross-out comedy.

edit: I have more to say. First of all, this is basically like Wes Anderson directing a Farrely Bros. script. Secondly, what a rad soundtrack. "Real Religious Man" by Mr. Loco is a great fuckin' tune.

I do agree in re the soundtrack. I was impressed with it.

Originally Beck was going to score it, but I heard plans changed towards the end. Did any of his tracks sneak in?

I read that Dannys Elfman scored it, but took his name off of it about a week before it opened. I did recognize some Danny-isms in the final score though.

yeah, there were several beck tracks in it. i stuck around through the credits to see if there was anything at the end, and noticed that beck did like 7 songs or something.

Duh it's not out here for another month.

I never understand these delays.

Finally just saw this, and I thought it was pretty funny. Maybe 80% as funny as Napoleon Dynamite was to me. I think I had kind of lowered my expectations because of the mixed reviews I'd read, which probably helped. Jack Black can still crack me up with practically anything he does. Awesome wrestling, especially the flying eagle move. B
