Well first off I was looking forward to this movie for weeks!!  So this time instead of watching previews on TV over and over and over again.  I made sure I backed off on watching previews and I made sure that I was going to have no clue what the jokes in the movie were.  Oh boy were they good!  I think I could’ve seen the jokes and been laughing like crazy!!!  This movie was soo great!  Laughing from beginning to finish and a happy ending to boot!   The storyline to this movie was about a guy (Seann William Scott) who had a traumatic experience with his gym teacher (Billy Bob Thornton) in middle school who was very mean and rough on him throughout middle school, then they go to 13 years later where he is a successful motivational writer…  He gets a call from home saying that they are going to give him an award from home that they very rarely give out!  When he gets home he finds out that his mother (Susan Sarandon) is dating his former gym teacher…  So he sets out a plot with a former classmate to break them up. 

  

Seann William Scott- Really funny throughout this movie, he never let off of the funny throughout the entire movie!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

 

 Billy Bob Thornton- If you understand Billy Bobs really dry sarcastic type of humor then you will think he is hilarious! Throughout the entire movie!!! 5 out of 5 stars 

 

Susan Sarandon-Not a lot of humor coming out of her in this movie, she was more of the serious role in the comedy movie.  Not used to seeing a serious role in a comedy movie.  I will give her 3 out of 5 stars (only because I don’t get why you would put a serious role in a comedy movie.) 

 

ON the final note, this has to be among my top 5 movies of 2007 right now…  This movie had me laughing throughout the movie!!  I absolutely recommend this movie 100% 5 out of 5 stars!

I cant wait to see it..I also want to see THE COMEBACK with The Rock..it looks real funny.

I haven't seen it yet, but looking forward to it.

I can't wait to see this, It looks hilarious!

I do want to see this one! Thanks Big Decker.

Decker: Doesn't Billy Bob Thornton seem to play the same person in every movie role he gets? That description reads like Bad Santa or any other movie I've seen him in. And THIS is your first time issuing five stars. That makes it a "must-see." Oh, and NC Baby...regarding the Rock's new movie...you would not BELIEVE the promotional blitz underway on the Disney Channel. We watch that channel a lot in my house and I swear I saw his face 47 times between Friday and Sunday nights.

Thanks for your review. I'm still deciding if I want to go see this or not. I probably will.

Thanks Decker

thanks for the review...this is one that i thought would be pretty funny...

Thanks for the alert, Decker. This is one of the movies we want to see. I have loved Susan since she played Janet in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and I think Sean William Scott is a great actor. I'm not a fan of the American Pie trio, though I generally love low-brow humor, but he's been great in all I've seen him in. Particularly loved him in Evolution. And BBT is an odd fellow, but a good actor. I think he'd be interesting to meet.

I used to enjoy watching movies with Susan Sarandon (Rocky Horror, Bull Durham) but can no longer stand her. She has opened her mouth too many times and I can no longer separate her acting roles from her politics. Whenever I see her on the TV screen, I want to throw darts at her. I would never even bother to go see a movie she was in.

Same with Sean Penn, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Richard Geer and the other usual suspects. They are all pathetic excuses for human beings and/or lunatics and I won't spend my money on their enrichment.

Interestingly, there are many other Hollywood liberals who are just as left, but they are not as noisy as the above; they at least attempt a legitimate argument. Folks like Mike Farrell, Whoopie Goldburg, Danny Glover, and John Cusack. They express their views as they are entitled to an move on. They can stay compartmentailzed with their politics, though Glover is starting to get on my nerves a bit.
