(6,399 posts)It looked silly and fun, had actors I liked and has been a familiar plot concept in film (especially comedies) for decades.
But I tend to like a wide range of movies and prefer to make my own judgments on what works and what doesn't.
So hopefully I'll get an opportunity. This could be a good one for Sony - and a bad one for theaters - in the end. If Sony goes and does this as VOD through various outlets, and it makes them some amount of coin, it'll give them further incentive to push past the theatrical exhibition side for other films.
But it's good to see the thought police out in full force, making sure that things they think are childish and moronically conceived should never see the light of day.
Frankly, I've spent years being fans of things that the "mainstream" hates. Only to see it change generationally and watching people now having to "suffer" through it. Growing up a fan of comic books and science fiction, it's sweet revenge. Particularly from people I knew in high school that used to bully me because I liked comic books, only to now see them spending money and time on them because their kids are so into it.
Thankfully, DU generally isn't the barometer for anything, especially when it comes to entertainment.
