4.7?! Are you people kidding me?!


If you are a fan of Crime/Drama's (i.e. The Godfather's 1 & 2, Scarface, Casino, etc.), you'd have to love this movie as a parody. I think it's just the IMDb nit-wits who are perfectionists that are responsible for this low rating. They just don't have a sense of humor. Who is with me?

I'm totally with you. I thought this movie was excellent, and having studies the gangster genre I appreciated it way more than I would perhaps otherwise have done.

Im also with you.
This movie is hilarious.
I LOVE the silly sense of humour of the Top Gun/Naked Gun/Airplane movies, and this one was JUST like those movies.
And it was even more fun as im a fan of gangster movies.
The funeral scene alone.....with the horse and the vomit makes the film a DVD purchase alone.

It's a film aimed at 5 year olds and imbeciles.

I don't think a five year old would get the humor in this film.

no1pjfan, I agree with you. They cant rate it as an mafia/crime movie.
It is a parody, it makes fun of mafia/forest gump etc.

you people that dont find this movie funny got to be retarded

reply

I really don't understand why isn't this movie up there with Airplane and Hot Shots at least in the ratings. I found it to be just as funny if not more. Sometimes I just can't believe the people's ratings... And you gotta trust them 'cause they reflect the whole's taste and not just an IMDB's squeme. I love this movie and no 4.7 is gonna change that...

I wouldn't go as far as to say it is perfect, but it deserves more than a 4.7. Maybe a high 6.

Too bad there's a lot of twits out there who just don't get it when a movie is a spoof.

reply

I hear ya.

A pox on twits!

I think this movie is too funny for its own good. The comedy is majorly overkill but that's just how I like it!

People who don't like this movie are the kids who worship 'comedians' like Will Ferrel and Vince Vaughn. This movie is a perfect example of when comedy's were actually funny.
