It's a shame this movie doesn't get more love.


This movie is so funny because of how dumb the characters are. People who are so stupid, they don't even know that their garbage gets taken to a dump by a garbage truck. Who are so stupid, they think that "Return to Sender" note on a letter at the post office means an evil man is controlling the post office and stealing peoples' mail. So stupid they don't know what a museum is and think they've gone back in time. So stupid they can't properly wrote a note. So stupid they think a normal man is God. And so stupid they don't know you can't put paper into a disk drive. It's all very funny but to each their own.

I recall thinking that the movie's pacing was a bit slow at times, and I didn't care for the parts involving the aliens or the CGI pets (although I'm sure they're relevant to the books this movie is based off of), but otherwise I'd agree that it has amusing moments and quotable lines.
