Hollywood Video and Blockbuster and Netflix. The H'wood budget/numbers game is ridiculous. When they say a movie makes it's money back in home video it is because rental establishments have to have enough on hand to handle the EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND for these movies. So for the first three months, each store has sixty or seventy copies (at least) of these movies(not to mention all the retail establishments that have boxes of these movies in stock). People rent the shit out of them and eventually they make their way to the "previously viewed" bin where no one will ever buy them and they will be relegated to a county landfill. Meaning, The Bucket List and Fool's Gold are causing global warming.

I love the spoiler-picture review; fucking awesome (and nine pictures adds a draw your own laughable spoiler picture from The Happening). What's so amazing is that the movie starts horrible and then proceeds to get astoundingly worse and worse. Hulk LOL.

They violated the most important rule of a movie made from a popular long-running TV show- the movie must be THE GREATEST ADVENTURE for these characters challenging them in ways they would have never been challenged before, taking them places they would never have gone, and showing stuff we never would have seen in the series; also known as, "The Duck Tales Rule."

It's like Anchorman, but vividly, horrifically real.

That's brilliant. The "30 Days" format really has an endless amount of comedic possibilities. And everyone should add "Super High Me" to their Netflix queue.

They didn't set out to make a cult-hit movie about pot; they set out to make a comedy with multi-ethnic appeal for a specific subculture. It became a cult-hit because 90% of our population smokes weed and this film was enjoyable to poser-rasta white kids in suburbia, stoner moms and dads, and sober people that like to laugh.
