I set my mind thinking it was going to be like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless, bored to death and wanting to kill myself, but the movie was better than I thought. Mark Walhburg did an excellent job, and IMO should be nominated for Oscar for best supporting actor. Anyone even see the movie?
 
One of my favorites! Such a great film! The sense of humor was perfectly my style. A few people I know said the dialogue was too fast so they couldn't understand it :lol Not the sharpest tools in the shed.
 
I had a hard time sitting through this movie. The previews had me hoping it would be the next The Royal Tenenbaums, but it really wasn't. Sure, some of the dialogue was good, but overall the whole thing seemed....hollow, which is what the movie wants you to think life is anyways. Mark Wahlburg was good in it, but I don't know if I can even justify it as a rental.... :(
 
I swear I read that as "i love bukkakes", and after reading the replies I was really in WTF MODE... until I doublechecked the title and read it properly this time.

Ugh. Sometimes I have to remind myself of taste that GAF has. I just loved the part where Walhburg was talking about how bad jesus is at that black man's house during dinner.
 
Wah, someone doesn't like a movie I liked. Ugh. Ugh. I'm going to go to the corner and cry. :(

If it makes you feel any better, Mortimer, I liked Mark Wahlberg's character.

I liked bits of it, but it kinda seemed like it couldnt work out whether it wanted to be funny or profound and in the end it was niether.
 
I like it a lot, but no love. If you do view it, don't go in expecting it to change your life. It's just a very funny comedy about existantialism and the human psyche, nothing more.

My thoughts exactly. I really, really wanted to like this movie and in the end I was just like "eh". I wish there would've been more absurd bits, like the rubber-ball-in-the-face or Marky Mark slugging a fellow firefighter because he referred to Ratzo Rizzo as a "therapist".

Same here. I liked it but I wouldn't recommend it to most people.
