  • Your review was interesting, but it seems to miss the point.

    Yes, this film does pay homage to hippies and Jedis; the underlying joke of the film is having Ewan McGregor play someone who's never HEARD of a Jedi. But...

    As far as not laughing every second...it's not really a comedy. It's more anti-war, anti-big business satire than anything. In the movie, people get strung along because they believe in their leaders.

    On another note, this is the first time I've seen positive LSD use in a film.

  • @jfulbright, And it is classified as a war-comedy. The major theme is paranormal military programs.

  • @jfulbright, I think that what you found more important in the movie differs with what I found most important in the film and that is it. As far as "missing the point" everyone gains something equal in enjoying a film, but enjoy a film and take from it in different aspects of the film.

    The point is to enjoy a film and I enjoyed this film thoroughly, thanks for the comment.

  • We liked this movie quite a bit. I think the movie kind of falls apart in the third act, but in general its just pretty funny.. check out our review! <-- (shamless channel plug)

  • @SatanCinque, My mother is Welsh-German, so we went to the Scottish Games here which is technically "The British Aisles Games." So she got me the flag and map because of my heritage.

  • By the way, EPIC fuckin shirt man \,,/

  • I saw the previews for this movie on a LOAD of newer DVDs. I was torn on if I really wanted to see it or not. Now I believe I will, thanks.

    " I'm playing the worlds smallest violin in my mouth for you." Fuckin LOL!!!

  • @gregargana, Exactly

    I feel like the movie you reviewed had to many jokes ruined by the trailer. The only reason I would own this movie is for the scene when they dance. It is such a good scene

  • @AlwaysAbiggerFish, Already watched it, decent, nothing award worthy. It is simply another movie to watch.

  • Dead snow is not worth watching unless you REALLY want to, this is coming from a cult movie fan

  • eating on videos is cool! saves time!

  • this movie sucks big time!
