The Walmart Scene
Me and my brother died laughing after that. It was so random.
shareThis kind of thing is very confusing in other countries, it makes no sence in the UK for example. Hollywood don't give a *beep* about the rest of the world.
share"Nice of WAL-MART to provide these WAL-MART beverages in return for us saying WAL-MART so many times."

Yeah, practically everyone's heard of Wal-Mart. Even if you haven't, you can work out what that scene means :)
I thought it was funny. This movie was a lot better than I expected it to be (but then I had very low expectations). The jokes were kind of clever.
Yes, actually... there is a a chain of super markets in the UK that is a part of the Wal-mart family. People in the UK will probably know what supermarket I'm talking about, but if not, its ASDA.
It's also a movie made in America. I'm sure if a major store that isn't in America was mentioned in a movie from another country, then Americans wouldn't get it.
sharei dont think anyone would not get that
unless they live in a hole

Please tell me this is like some reality show called "My Skank." -- Dick Casablancas!

watching space jam after seeing this was a total let down,combining pro basketball with looney tunes was an absolute sh*t idea!!!! share
Well, you know, while i might well tend to sympathise with your point in most cases - this is a US made film about quintessentially-USAian characters and situations; do you complain about similarly-obscure-to-furriners in the *original* Loony Tubes shorts, which were much more US-specific?
When i was nine years old (only shortly after the dinosaurs became extinct) and i discovered Arthur Ransome's "Swallows & Amazons" books and read all of them as quickly as i could find them, i had difficulty with the LSD money in them, and the term "round as a football" threw me at first ... but i didn't complain - anything i didn't know that i needed to know to understand what was going on, i found out in short order.
Would the same gag, but based on a McDonalds, have bothered ou so much?
Ohh... pull the stick out of your ass... It is an AMERICAN MOVIE with a AMERICAN COMPANY using product placement.
Sorry, two's company, and three's an adult movie.
