You can watch boring crap like Lord of the... Oh never mind.

Seriously, the first was funny in a deconstructive way, the second was brilliant as a metaphorical class/race struggle (you noticed the "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" sequence, I'm sure), and the third was not too offensive as a study of how to try to make more money off the first two without really doing anything memorable (In fact, I can't remember much at all of it). I liked the first a lot, the second a little, and the third only because it entertained my kids for a while--although I loved the "Assume the position" scene.

Haven't seen the fourth. My first reaction was to be pissed off and shout "Oh come on, just let it fucking die already!" which got me a lot of dirty looks from the "How to Train Your Dragon" audience. But it's gotten decent reviews, and now I'm curious enough to think about seeing it. It's on my list behind about five others I haven't seen yet, though, so probably I'll miss it anyway.
