Save your $15!

Just a friendly warning.
Even with Will Ferrell, Stranger than fiction Sucked a ball. I have never seen a bigger pile of crap movie. DO NOT go see it!

I'm not a big Will Ferrell fan so saving the $15 won't be a problem at all for me. I would have done it anyway.

gotta disagree here....I really liked the movie. I would call it more of a serious movie for Will Ferrell, although he does have some funny parts in it.

If you go expecting a comedy, you will be seriously disappointed.

But I can think of 5 movies off the top of my head that were worse that this movie, probably more.

Its definately not a comedy. The movie. If you've seen it you know.

I really think its a great movie. Me an my two best friends loved it. Kinda makes you think, especially the reason for the change at the end.

The only money I wasted tonight was on that blasted popcorn which tasted like crap. BLEAH!

I kinda like the idea of a Will Ferrell "serious" movie, because I thought he did a great job in his role, but when the little bits of comic releif were thrown in he melded it together quite well.

I give it

And Paul hit it right on the head: You can't go in expecting funny. I had never heard of the movie, or knew who was in it when I walked in tonight. My friends just told me "Jen said this was good. Lets go watch it" So we did and it's great. But then again, what do I know. I'm one of the nuts on this board.

Thats $15.00(well $15.50) for two people. Down here its $7.75 each.

I didn't expect comedy. BUT I didn't expect paint drying boring either- again JMO.
Glad you all liked it.

I guess movie tickets are like gasoline and fine wines.

They get more expensive every year.

On the other hand, wine actually changes as it ages. Movie Tickets and gasoline are pretty static.

And now im rambling. yay!

The previews shown in the theaters a while back lead you to believe it was a comedy. Thats where the big let down came from.

Especially since I had never heard of it before
