Put your money where your mouth is
Get the movie and hide a copy.
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.
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.
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 are going to see it Monday night.
Saw it yesterday; even here in the peoples republic of Massachusetts they showed it and it was well received. The theater felt compelled to run ads for “W” before the movie; people were visibly disturbed.
Mr. sneakers and I saw it last night. Loved it! We had to drive about 40 miles since it wasn’t being shown in our town.
The theater was over half full. Lots of laughter in the first ten minutes then it settled in with lots of yucks in between. The audience started to clap when Michael Malone (Chris Farley) said: “Hollywood?, yeah lets go there - they HATE America!” (paraphrased)
Favorite scenes
On the funny side:
-The “extremist Christians” and
-the aging hippie college profs longing for 1968.
On the serious side:
-The scene with George Washington (Jon Voight) at the church across from ground zero.
-”the ghosts of American Soldiers from present to the past” in the audience.
-the sailors boarding their ship as they prepare to leave. (my son is in the navy - in Japan - and we haven’t seen him in over a year, so I started to tear up at that part!) Loved seeing the US Navy Sailors in their dress whites hugging their families at the dock!
Lots of clapping at the end (and a few “whoops!” or “woooohoooo’s!”, if I remember correctly) lol!
All-in-all, I’d say its a really great movie with a lot of laughs while really making you think!
I’m going to see it on Tuesday.
I’m willingly to bet that movie makes a ton of money at the box office.
I propose that NYC/NJ/CT Freepers meet and see this film in NYC. I hate seeing movies alone....in that bastion of liberalism and corruption that I live in, the Garden State, I can’t find one person who wants to go.
I saw it last night. Good turnout but not packed. I thought it was funny. A couple of scenes flopped but they were more than made up for by the ones that scored. The audience laughed out loud at the really funny scenes, not so much at the ones that fizzled or the ones that were more “insider” humor that not everyone got. Overall a clear thumbs’ up. It’s a satire and not intended to be a work of art, and as a satire it’s pretty brilliant and just seeing liberals look stupid in a movie is enough to make it worth seeing.
An example of one of the scenes that didn’t elicit laughs, probably because many people didn’t get it, was when the terrorists were listing some of the directors of failed anti-American films (such as Brian DiPalma, whose last film went “straight to video”, they said). Much of the audience didn’t get the humor since in real life almost no one saw those movies or even cares who those directors are.
btt
Kelsy was hilarious in “up periscope”
Just read the NYTimes review: short and dismissive.
(I just ordered in on Netflix)
