Thanks to the guy in the 2nd row!!


Now usually I frown on all sorts of interruptions to a movie I've paid good money for, but this was an exception. During the over sentimental, sugar infested, saccharine ending to this drivel, as Vince Vaughn learnt about the true meaning of 'family', as all the kids were somehow pleased with their crappy hula hoops & baseball bats, and as Kevin Spacey reached an all time career low as a costumed freak, I was slowly starting to lose the will to live. Luckily for me, some wise ass had the same opinion, but he actually did something about it. He mercilessly mocked every bit in the last half hour, from singing Nirvana during the annoying Silent Night refrain, to doing a hilarious Mel Brooks impression during the painful part when Fred goes down the chimney of a Jewish family. It almost inspired me to join in, but I didn't quite have the nerve. It was like a MST3K moment come to life, and strangely enough, most of the audience seemed to prefer it to the unfunny slop on the main screen. There certainly weren't many protests, and even quite a few giggles... apart from an old couple who left shaking their heads looking very upset. Well, b*ll*cks to them, I say. Let them go home and watch Annie for the zillionth time, we were having a great time at the expense at this piece of dire sh**e. Surely a career in stand-up awaits for this talented young chap? The best part was though, walking out with a grin on our faces... everyone walking past to see The Golden Compass thought we'd just watched an excellent movie, and were saying how they must book tickets to go and see it. LOL! If only they knew...
