So, usually my personal opinion coincides with the User Rating on IMDb, but this time i really have to disagree. It's somehow a mystery to me, how nearly everybody says this was a great flick with good laughs.
Of course, it is meant to be a parody, but the events and actions occurring in the movie were just too unbelievable and ridiculous too feel comfortable whilst watching. Nearly nothing in this film could ever happen like that in real life, it was just too absurd. It's like you are watching it and got to say repeatedly "Oh yea, of course", "Oh come on". Like in a bad cliché action movie. Or in other words, if there were any laughs, they would have rather been due to the stupidity of the movie. I didn't see the great and original "funniness", that so many others may have seen. It was rather dull to me.
The same goes for the characters. How can I like them, when they act completely strange and unbelievable? I couldn't identify with any a little bit. I can't like characters who doesn't seem human to me. Of course the characters show human qualities, which are even pointed out in the movie, but in the whole they were pretty awkward, unbelievable and strangely acting. I felt so uncomfortable with them. "ARENT YOU HUMAN PEOPLE? WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS??", thats what was on my mind. And that's true for all of the characters occurring in the movie.
On top of that, the movie was predictable as hell. The events weren't surprising, nor excited nor anything. Just waited for them too occur like i had been expecting them. There was nothing special about it, expect the thing that, like i had already said a hundred times, the scenes were completely unbelievable. It was just somehow boring.
It were just those things that ruined the movie for me. The actors themselves didn't do a bad job, especially the main actors played their awkward roles relatively satisfying. I also liked the idea behind the movie and it definitely had some potential, which sadly wasn't used. For that:
5 out of 10.
