And don't turn it off until the credits are finished.

I've had it in my queue for awhile. A great cast,but the description had me hesitant. I enjoy intelligent comedy so now I'm going to give it a try.

Good film, really enjoyed it.  It could have been a bit shorter I feel.  Seems to have upset some conservative people but that was predictable.

I watched it and it was very funny and clever and also very depressing because it's so accurate with it's portrayal of our current society.

Combine Strangelove with Idiocracy and you pretty much have it.

I had the same reaction.

I watched it last night. Very funny! But I agree also depressing.

I might be the only guy who didn't like it. Maybe it's because I don't like movies with too many A-list movie stars. The only one I ever liked was, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

I wanted to like it, but just couldn’t get into it.

I saw it while binging on a bunch of the Oscar candidates. It was underwhelming compared to most of the other films.

It kinda reminded me of the disaster films of the 1970s where you have just star after star showing up (Airport, Towering Inferno, etc.).

Parts of this one seemed tongue-in-cheek (Ariana Grande and the song she sang), so not sure how well it would compare with "serious" movies that are Oscar-worthy.

But it was a fun movie considering you pretty much know how it's going to end.

 :D the movie show should  have been called ,, 'don't watch unless your totally bored outta your mind' .  Big names playing small brains.  A true comedy on human nature.  :D

It sounds more like a documentary on Hollywood.   :lol:

Good movie. Won't make any converts to dealing with the unmentionable issue at its core but good on 'em for speaking up.
