The Narrator was awful..


He sounded like a high Seth Rogan impersonator trying to pull of an Alec Baldwin in The Royal Tennenbaums. Lame work dude!!!

Lewis Black's career predates Seth's by about twenty years.

Finally saw this last month, Lewis Black was the best thing about it. Finding out that someone attending a peep show should not have been a surprise.

Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullsh!t in order to be comfortable?

The narrator was Lewis Black a highly successful comedian (and author and pundant I think). He definitely wasn't impersonating Seth Rogan or Alec Baldwin as he has been in the business longer than both of them (Rogen for sure and probably as long as Alec Baldwin) and he's done more voice work (he's famous for doing college tour lectures and the like) than both of them.
He doesn't change his style much, so you know exactly what you're getting with him as the narrator, and I loved it!

What's a pundant? Oh you mean a pundit!

I agree, the narrator was terrible. I am familiar with Lewis Black (and Rogen and Baldwin), I just think Black was a poor choice.

Honestly, Michael C Hall would have been much better as the narrator. Then, I suppose, that would have messed up the movie!

I am very familiar with Lewis Black, but I have to agree with the OP on one point, he was an awful choice as the narrator. Lewis' voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, every time he spoke I contemplated turning off the TV.

Lewis Black is Jewish and a brilliant choice for narrating this film.

Black is too good for this mess.
