We got suckered into watching it in the theatre a few weeks ago...and you're right, it was really bad. Rarely have we spent 15 bucks (matinee price) so foolishly.
I'll watch it because it's a Coen film. They do movies like this to get money to make their "art" films. Their next film, The Serious Man, looks divine.
We're about to start it (just finished Eagle Eye) once I start dinner.
I heard it was actually pretty good so we'll see. I go by my own opinion rather than others since I think society has dumbed down.
Society's idea of comedy is complete foreign to me and my husband. they are generally stupid, inane crass films w/people acting like idiots or *******s... we're not into that.
Coen Bros. movies are hit and miss with me. Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, and The Big Lebowski were pretty good. Fargo was brilliant. O, Brother Where Art Thou is a modern classic, one of my favorite movies. Miller's Crossing is quite good. They also produced Bad Santa, which I thought was fun.
But then they do stuff like The Man Who Wasn't There (tedious, boring, and uninteresting), Intolerable Cruelty (mildly amusing enough to watch once, then never again), and The Ladykillers (boring and unfunny).
I loved The Man Who Wasn't There. It was pure art. I liked Ladykillers except for Tom Hanks character and Intolerable Cruelty was just tripe. I'm also not a fan of Hudsucker.
