I'm not saying that you or anyone else should run out and pick it up, even as a rental. It's *not* a great movie, in *any* sense. It's pretty much an over-the-top gross-out of a movie, good for stupid laughs and little else. Hence, it drew my attention easily.

The problem with the entertainment industry is that it often confuses adding multiple layers to 2 dimensional thinking with 3 dimensional thinking. This is why there is a huge falloff in entertainment revenue, even though entertainment CONSUMPTION is high. The lifeblood of the
