OH my fucking God!!!
What a horrible waste of time! I want my 99 mins back!
I am sure that Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Walken were hoping this was going straight to DVD.
After months, months and months of re-editing and test screenings. Nothing could save this sinking ship. No wonder why the release date was delayed like 3-4 times.
I had hopes.. I mean, 3 awesome actors.
Barry Levinson, what the hell were you thinking!?
The reviews are usually negative with this kind of movie (well, sometimes). And sometimes I just don't give a fuck about the damn critics...
But hey, this time I read the reviews after watching it..
And THEY were fucking right!
Look at this! HAHAHAHHA
