Ok...but WHY didnt you like it???

Most people do not have an actual reason for not liking something, they just don't like it.

Yeah, i guess you're right.
Sometimes something just rubs you the wrong way, and you're not sure
what it is or why.

But, i guess i just get disenchanted with these message boards sometimes.
I use to think people wanted to "discuss" movies...but mostly it seems they
just want to make a statement and be done with it.

We are losing the art of conversation.

it was interesting. If it was not for the VaPoorizer invention in the movie, it might have been better received. Maybe it was a potshot at toliet humor.

Yeah, i guess it's possible that people were turned off because of this.
I thought this was a good mark of mature comedy though. They had something that could of easily gotten out of hand, but they didnt go that route. In fact...most movies would have made the 'poo' the focus of the film. Not true here...it was the relationship between the friends, the jealousy, etc. The 'poo' was really just a baseboard to launch into the meat of the film.

I was impressed by how they didn't turn to toilet humor.
True, they could have used a less offensive product to focus on, but i think they had to create a product that was simple enough, yet would generate a huge demand (NOBODY enjoys shoveling crap).

I've said earlier...a lesser movie would have had more 'poo' jokes, this one wisely stayed away from that. :O)


It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

I actually thought the movie was okay, but I saw it for free (borrowed the dvd).

I think part of the problem is the success and quality of the movies that preceeded it, witht the same actors. With a cast like this you are really expecting something imressivelly funny. But there weren't really any belly laughs, just several things that maybe made me grin, or chuckle a little. In Something About Mary, a laughed until I had tears in my eyes. Shallow Hal didn't hit me quite as hard, but was still very funny at times. This movie just didn't have the powerful impact in the laugh department.

Second, I think the ending lacked impact for a lot of people. I actually thought it was refreshingly anticlimactic. The way things were snowballing, I feel the audience believed there was going to be a big, darkly humorous ending where all the characters would be on the verge of murdering each other, and that the clouds would literally start raining crap on everyone. To me, this would have been much more predictable than what actually happened. What happened was realistic, in the sense that best friends would understand that most of what happened was an accident, and that their behavior was making someone else miserable.
In a typical dark comedy, Walken would have been dead, and some, if not all the characters would be off to prison, or busily hiding the body. But not here. It was a target arrow after all, and the anticlimax of this scene also struck me as original, rather than typical. The average viewer most likely also viewed this as a let down.

For the average viewer, I imagine they felt that the movie built this big, horrendous potential disaster of misfortune and misunderstanding, that was going to have a darkly funny ending, but instead fizzled. Had the movie went the typical route, it probably would have been more popular, and for many people, more funny.

If you was a mo-ron, I suppose you cd'even andmire it. (Sheriff, kbv1)
