Couldn't wait for it to end.

This was relentless. Fast paced with just so much in your face craziness, short edits, screen movement that I zoned out for pretty much the middle hour of the film. I kept waiting for it to settle down, but it never did. It is more like a video game than a film. It's very well made, must have taken so much to bring a film like that together, funny, clever and the performances / message are great. The good bits were really good, they were just drowned in so many stop start images that took me out of the film. There's no jeopardy. There's no drama. Anything can happen and anything does happen. It's got the tone of a superhero film. Couldn't wait for it to end.

Yup, it's crap. But many people love it because many people simply enjoy crap when it's served to their liking.

Agreed. Slumdog Millionaire crappienes. With about the same amount of stupid hype to it.

Do you have any guilty pleasures (movies you love that everyone else seems to dismiss/hate)? Serious question.

I thought it was fun. I guess you never got bored one day and put everything on a bagel. It doesn't matter.

Yea me and my wife lasted 50mins. I would have rather just watched their lives working a dry cleaners place. The beginning was interesting the characters had some wieght to them. Could not finish

Videogames on average have a waaaay more interesting story than this, and are definitely more fun.
