What is your real problem with this film?
I've noticed the people throwing around terms like "faux-indie" mostly post on the boards for, what I'm sure are outstanding pieces of cinema, such as "GI Joe" and "Transformers"
Last I checked it wasn't marketed as an indie film, so what gave you that impression? Or are you just quick to group it into something you personally find distasteful? Do you have a problem with non-slapstick comedies? The music they used? The way the actors dress? Lump it into (faux-)indie?
What were you even doing watching this movie? Or do you just write reviews from trailers? I know I would dislike the new Transformers and GI Joe, so I came up with the ingenious plan of not watching them.
It was a mediocre comedy (personally, I thought it was a little better than that but not fantastic), based on awkward dialogue. Yeah, there's a lot of them. There's always trends in cinema. I've been biding my time, waiting for saturation of Baysplosion comic book movies to dry out, personally. Just don't participate in them if you don't want to. What are you all so upset about though?
