So there is no confusion by eCat...
First, there is no point comparing this to the Max Brooks book of the same name. This is not an adaptation of the book. It's barely related. This is a case of a studio liking a title and building a brand-new high concept around it after they buy the rights.

Hard to believe Chris Farley and Adam Sandler were fired from SNL.

Not really.

Sandler did not hit his full stride until later (although he had plenty of strong flashes). Rock sucked. Farley was unreliable.

yeah doing incredible amounts of coke will do that to you. When he was on he was great. I wonder how many times over the course of SNL Lorne Michaels has had to say "Flush the coke, lose the hooker and get the defib team in here asap"

A dead Chris Farley is funnier than some of those cast members from that era. Hell, I hate Sandler and he was better than many who were left.

The only Sandler movie I ever liked was the one with the kid. I think Tommy Boy was my favorite Farley one. Blurry era for me though. Tough to remember back then.

I watched a 4 minute preview of it tonight and I'm having my doubts. But I'm still going to see it.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Just so you all know, I eat a lot of pussy, but I don't swallow. Cancer free.

Yeah, I've been drinking. Being here is better than posting on Twitter. #PeaceToHizzy

NIce.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

never really paid attention to Rotten Tomatoes but I have a couple buds who like/hate the same shyt I do who swear RT has never led them astray
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

I wouldn't say 'never' - but it's pretty good. I have used it for years. Compare the critics score and the audience score on action/summer popcorn movies for a better idea.

Better idea of what? The critics opinions vs. the public's? Who should one trust in that case? One still must make a choice....

A better idea if the movie is worthwhile.

Critics are notorious for giving tepid reviews to many of the popcorn flicks. Most people know it's not going to be art, but yet some critics give it a bad review and will lament things like, "the protagonist's motives are not clearly defined and the angst felt by Vin Diesel's character is never fully explained" (or whatever) when all I want to know is are the fight and chase scenes good and does it hold your attention.

With those type movies, I will take the critics score and the audience's score in account, and lean more toward the audience.
