Movie Connections:

References First Blood (1982)

Don't see it! You'll die of laugh!!

Saw it last night. Probably one of the best comedies I've ever saw! Last time I have laughed so much was, when I saw Bio-Dome ( 1996 ), but this is even better and not college humor, but more adult. No matter this is a 2003 movie and now is 2006, it sounds very actual and modern.

What a comedy lover could dislike is just and only, if You are intellectual comedy lover ( "Monty Python" series for example ), here the humor is not of that type. But I am not such a person. And I love this movie!

The plot: It is very well organized in my opinion, the story jumps in very dynamic way from one place to another. Especially at beginning. Later there is small lazy, bit boring moments, but it passes.

The characters: This is something I love -- Every movie should have memorable characters. Unique. Well, here everyone is different and cool in his way.

The cinematography: Original. I liked it.

The soundtrack: Well here goes the other advantage of the movie -- there are very very cool electronic ( trance/house probably, did not listened carefully ) songs! If You like this kind of music, You'll gonna dance with the movie. I will try to find these.

For all casual comedy lovers -- A must see!
