What a dull piece of flotsom. Don't waste your money if you were thinking of buying a ticket. There was very little organized plot for me to divulge here, in fact these guys must have thought they could wing it through the entire film without a script or plot or anything pertaining to a genuine movie. Very childish and amateurish. I realize the cast are all known for making comedies, but this rubbish doesn't even qualify for a bad comedy. Of course, this is just my opinion for what it's worth. Ten thumbs down! [thumbsdown]

I'm going back to my TV!

This movie is getting good reviews and some people are actually liking it. I don't get it, myself. They're saying it's great because it's "different," and different IS a good thing, but why does different always have to mean directly from the toilet?

Why is filth/profanity/grossness hailed as greatness in cinema these days? I don't understand why you have to have a potty-mouth to be considered cool these days.

well hold on now, Gasper Noe's films are masterpieces in my mind - nasty and nihilistic (sparse on the 'potty mouth' dialogue though) [Wink]

I must admit though, knowing what I was getting into, the movie really didn't bother me that much.

sure, the plot and pacing was all over the place. My major gripe was that there wasn't enough of Emma Watson
