I saw commercials for this movie and thought they were funny. The title, however, told me it would probably be lame. I never saw it in the theaters because I didn't want to waste my money on something that could potentially be a major flop. Well, I decided to rent it tonight and give it a go. What a major disappointment. This movie was horrendous. There were a few chuckles, but other than that, it was pretty much a complete waste of time. I'm soooo glad I didn't waste the $10 to go check it out at the theaters.
If you haven't seen it, do not bother wasting your time (or money).

Really? I thought the whole thing was pretty weak. I mean, was there even a point?bigdaddy2003 wrote: Wow I thought it was pretty decent up until the end.

Yeah I generally like Jeff Bridges, but I could tell this one had stinker potential

Supposedly it's based on a real story. I wasn't as happy with it as I thought I would be though.Scarlet_Buckeye wrote:Really? I thought the whole thing was pretty weak. I mean, was there even a point?bigdaddy2003 wrote: Wow I thought it was pretty decent up until the end.

Terrible movie. I was completely in awe that anyone could sit through it.

I almost didn't. I only did because I had absolutely nothing else better to do tonight.Laley23 wrote: Terrible movie. I was completely in awe that anyone could sit through it.
I'm not one to walk out of a movie; mostly because they are so damn expensive (I don't think I have ever walked out of one). However, if I saw this one in the theaters, I think I might have walked out. It was just bad.

Ha wow. I agree it wasn't great but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was awful. To each their own I guess.

Thanks for the heads up. I had this in my Netflix queue and was already on the fence about it..

I heard that was a stinker. The worst movie I have seen in the last year= Funny People. I walked out of it in theaters with some people/ It is the only movie I have ever walked out of. Just painfully unfunny, with terrible performances from everyone in it.

Based just on the title I was never going to watch this one. The whole premise looked stupid to me.
I also agree Funny People was a horrid movie to try to watch.

I was pissed at this movie.....very deceptive with its title.....Lebron never even made an appearance.

I didn't mind it. Wasn't great. But if you're only looking for perfection every time you'll be sorely disappointed.

It's not even that. I hardly demand perfection; but asking for something that makes sense isn't asking for too much I don't think.Sykotyk wrote: I didn't mind it. Wasn't great. But if you're only looking for perfection every time you'll be sorely disappointed.

That was another horrible movie, but at least that had more than a couple funny parts.Glory Days wrote:Did you ever see The Land of the Lost? now that movie made no sense.Scarlet_Buckeye wrote:It's not even that.

I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie, but the girlfriend and I called it a date after about 45 minutes. I was bored out of my mind.
