: Well I must say that I absolutely loved this movie. I have seen it twice now, both times in an AMC 24 in far northwest Oklahoma City. I have never been to a movie before where the audience (and myself) were absolutely in hysterics throughout the entire picture.
: I also noticed that both times I saw this movie a good 75% of the theater remained seated throughout the end credits. People just did not want this movie to end.
If people really liked it this much, why is it dropping faster than any movie in recent memory? It had a significant drop in its opening weekend from Friday to Saturday, and its week to week drops have been HUGE. It had the biggest drop of any movie in the top 15 movies this weekend (I notice how nobody here ever brings that up, but everyone was quick to announce it was number 1, on its opening day).
I am not buying all of the people here saying how hilarious EVERYONE thought it was. When I saw it, opening night, it was about 80% full, and about 30% of the people laughed throughout, about 30% laughed in parts, and about 40% didn't laugh at all, or let out a few courtesy laughs.
I just think it was a weak movie. Kevin Smith can do so much better, and has, with every movie that he's made.
I'm still looking forward to Smith's next film. As I posted earlier, he just fumbled the ball with this one. His other 4 movies were all good. 4 out of 5 ain't bad.
Love,
