92? 9 friggin' 2?! Seriously?! It looks like one of those bad films that comes out every few months that involves chicks, horribly planned schemes and mishaps. 92 what?

I think it's funny how people can detest something they haven't even seen.

I think it's funny how people can detest something they haven't even seen. Like I said before, it's the "Stick Meets Ass Syndrome" or "SMAS" for short... That, and are you surprised how a lot of people reacted to this considering how a lot of people react to anything wrestling related?

Well..most people actually see the match/wrestler/company before they bash it..here it's like people are jumping to a lot of conclusions. I mean.. People who haven't seen it..hate it. People who have...love it.

I saw "Knocked Up" earlier tonight.
A little too long for my tastes (I was done after about an hour and a half).
I mean it was funny, but I wish it was about 45 minutes shorter. I don't think comedies really need to be over two hours long. Because what started as funny led to me thinking "wow, none of these people should have children, they're all too stupid".
Then I got distracted and started thinking about how many people have children who probably shouldn't have children. (And that's a lot of people in my mind). Well anyways, then I started thinking about white trash. Then I remembered this story this lady at work told me once about how she left her baby on the couch and went into the next room and when she came back the baby was on the floor and crying. Then I got back to the movie.
It was funny in parts, but it was no Wedding Crashers. That's for sure.
The funniest part for me was hearing Ryan Seacrest swear. And Paul Rudd discussing chairs in the hotel room. And the first 5 seconds of the Everybody Loves Raymond joke (the last 10 seconds it got kind of old).

I saw it earlier tonight. I thought it was great, and the length never bothered me.
But it saddens me that the "He wants to rear your child," line got the biggest laugh from the audience of the night.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I kinda don't like hearing "if the girl's on top she can't get pregnant, right?" on a TV commercial for a movie... but, maybe I just have a stick up my ass...

Well obviously you could review the movie better than those critics that actually have seen it based soley on the adverts and "the way it looks." I'm not saying I can, I'm saying that I don't see what so special about it. I have barely heard of the cast and the plot....I really don't like it. It's not the type of film I'd see, but it seems like the type of film that would get criticised in the same way the Wayans and the Farrellys would get criticised for. I'm just extreamly surprised it hasn't because IMO, I wouldn't pay money to see it. and the issue is partner you wont see "what is so special about it" until you watch it...but you have already stated that its "not the type of film you'd see" so basically its time to leave the thread to people that actually want to contribute...

Just a bloody great movie. MUCH better than The 40-Year Old Virgin. Yeah, and as an avid "Virgin" fan, I'm hard-pressed to disagree. I mean, that one was funny, but this one brang the funny on top of the drama. (And I'm man enough to admit that I at the end, too)

I think it's funny how people can detest something they haven't even seen. I do not detest it. Brain of J may do, but all I'm saying is it's not my type of movie. Never has been, never will be. And what if I go see it and I don't like it? I can't get my money back from the cinema because they have never done refunds. If it was a DVD, then it would be easier because you can return it. But I have no interest in seeing it, and I wish every time someone says they disagree with something or they don't like it, people don't have the urge to act like we got our heads up our asses.

Ah, this thread is going the way all threads everywhere go.... one person likes something, two people are offended that somebody can like it... and thus goes from there.
Problem is, the ones who dislike it seem like they take some sort of pride in hating it... as though they are "above" the person who does like it.
Seems the secret to being revered is to hate everything. Then you'll be the most correct person on the planet... just as long as you hate everything about it.

But it saddens me that the "He wants to rear your child," line got the biggest laugh from the audience of the night. That got a hearty laugh when I saw it too, but by far the biggest laugh was "Jonah Hill's Pube/Crap rant"! The part that got no laugh from anyone other than me was the "Uggh, I hate you sometimes" line. (Felt like a real "re-re" after that happened. )
