Didn't like it the first time, but after seeing it again I like it.


I don't know why but the first time I saw this movie I didn't really like it at all. After seeing it for a second time I thought it was actually really funny. I saw it the second time when my brother got it from Red-Box and I was bored, so I decided to give it another go. I actually bought the DVD tonight. Funny movie, I give it a 6/10.

i kinda felt the same way actually. after first time, id have probly given it a 5, but after another viewing, i ended up giving it a 7. damn funny overall! didnt care for Eisenberg, but McBride, Aziz and Michael Pena were all hysterical!

Idk how so many ppl can hate it. seems like nobody appreciates comedies or action flicks any more. soon all we'll have is CG kids movies and romatic dramadies

i have only seen it once. i agree with Richard Roeper (who gave it a C) that its pacing is not very consistent or rather where it was intended to go was perplexing (the pre and post end credits scenes being especially puzzling), but i was elated by the idea of this guy who takes his life for granted getting a bomb strapped to his chest and as a result, figuring out what is truly important to him. Zombieland is an infinitely better movie, but i still like this movie too. i had a good time and i think that others will. i think they will like it. i think the love interest should have been a more recognizable actress, but i think she was good nonetheless. Ansari got on my nerves at many points, but ultimately everybody else (especially Eisenberg) was pretty well cast. i give it a B-.
