...getting mooks like Ice Cube, Spike Jonze and Marky Mark really got across the point that these guys were just part-time soldiers and had no idea what they were doing. And anytime you bother complaining about "unrealism" in a film where a man downs a fully armed helicopter with a neon Nerf football strapped with C4, well, you're trying too hard and really, REALLY need to let the sunshine in.
Ah well, to each their own. I thought it was hilarious and I loved the cinematography. And you're right about one aspect of the "unrealism"; the American millitary and foreign policy was only set to 100% retarded instead of the usual 110%. Maybe next time.
