1. an alien come out of my body
2. a time machine that only takes me back to reeeeally awkward moments from my teenage years and then immediately back to now
3. genocide in my neighborhood
4. my favorite college football team lose to my most hated rival collegiate football program
5. my plane crashing down onto a deserted island where i would be forced to grow facial hair out of lack of razors and power to my electric razor in which case i would be forced to grow a weak "crust-ache" or "trash-stache"
6. a letter in the mail telling me i have to be in the army
7. someone's fist really close to my face moving at an incredible rate

there was not enough really funny jokes to balance out the awful story and acting. it just draaaaagged and dragged with boring characters who were also incredible cliches.

anybody else?
what else would you rather see than this movie again?

1. Fat guy on fat guy sex
2. How my digestive system works
3. A toothless old woman moving in very slowly for a tongue kiss
4. "The Best Of Steven Seagal" DVD set
5. "Night Court 2000"
6. Vin Diesel remaking "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"
7. Russell Crowe reading me his poetry by candle light
8. Countless hours of Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise "Cannonball Run" out takes
9. Bill Murray hitting on underage chicks
10. Matt Damon talk politics

I really really loved the book that this film was based on, and had really high hopes for the film... imagine my horror at watching a book that basically satirized Hollywood and the celebrity culture devolve into the very thing it mocked... a slick, formulaic Hollywood movie.

Is it really that bad? I wanted to see it. What does everyone else think?

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make this your signature

I wont be seeing anything ever again.

After seeing this movie, I proceeded to gouge my own eyes out with a rusty scalpel just to make sure I would never see it again.

Ok, perhaps a bit harsh.

It was the just the one eye and it really hurt.

Yeah, sorry to burst the bubble, dude, but it did suck something awful. I've never seen a more transparent storyline in the history of... ever. I mean, I know it's based on a book so the story can't really be messed with, but they probably could've done a better job of making the ending a secret. I think my blind, deaf friend knew what the ending was before the credits had even finished rolling (and he wasn't even in the movie theatre). My advice would be, go and see it if you really love either Jeff Bridges or really hate little dogs in human clothes, otherwise, probably give it a miss.

I'm going to make a similar topic:

"things I would rather see that this post again" =P

Why bother posting if it's so bad, just stop watching it halfway through.

And it hurt.

agreed, i came on here thinking this movie wouldn't have a rating higher than 5, and its at 6.9 with over 12k votes? how does that happen...horrible horrible movie. and megan fox i hated her in this movie. i'm assuming the book is much better material since jeff bridges and that other guy thats a respectable actor to have had any part in this crappy movie.
