The conservative stars are in it & as I was on the way to the movie I heard an interview by Kelsey Grammer by Michael Medved. The obvious question from Michael

God I hope this movie does well because it would be a huge slap in the face of leftist hollywood.

Regardless, I’m definately going to see this one. Glad to hear that David Zucker is involved in this. “Airplane” is one of the funniest movies ever made IMHO.

My wife and I saw it last night....

It just wasn’t that funny overall....it was as if there were a series of skits connected by a loose storyline. Some of the skits were funny, some were not.

Overall, I was expecting and “Airplane” or “Naked Gun” with a political slant, this film was not to that standard.

Don’t get me wrong, there were some individual scenes that were very funny. But overall, I thought the film fell a little flat.

Not playing in Canada. No idea if it will. My husband and I are dying to see it — we’re having an election up here too and one good conservative government bodes well for the election of another. May have to wait for the DVD.

I generally agree with your appraisal. I chuckled a lot. Many in the audience were laughing out loud often.

The Hollywood satire was lost on some. The political satire was lost on some

We will, but we're gonna have to drive a ways to do it. None of our local cinemas are showing it.

I cannot wait to see this and have plans to see it with different people several times. The only problem I have seen so far is its limited distribution. The two theaters that are playing it in proximity to me are both about 30-45 minutes away. I live within 15 minutes of at least five cinema complexes otherwise.

This movie will gross millions while Bill Maher’s attack movie on religion will be a box office bomb.

So how was attendance? How full or empty was the theatre?

I haven't been to a theater in 7 or 8 years.

Maybe tonight. Can't wait for the DVD to come out.

Absolutely hilarious and just what I needed to get a grip. Kelsey is incredible and Chris Farley’s brother as Michael Moore (who gets slapped, hit w/various objects and slandered) is brilliant. Not to mention Jon Voight and the narrator, the guy from Airplane (Leslie something?) The humor gets pretty raw and you may want to leave the young ones at home but it is a must-see. Love the slap at the ACLU, university “education” and so on.

We saw the 9:55 show...mostly empty in Alpharetta GA, a Atlanta suburb.....very conservative area...

To be fair, most of the other shows were light in attendance...
