Oh, I haven't done an official study -- and the commenters here, most of whom presumably didn't "have" to write about it, disprove my (jokey!) point. I have found that, across the board, the people I know who saw the movie with the intent of critiquing it enjoyed it much less than those who saw it just for fun. This is probably true of *every* movie. Or TV show. Or book. For example: I finally enjoy watching Mad Men.

I laughed so hard and so did the rest of the audience. My experience so far has been that nobody thought it was perfect, but everyone who didn't have to write about it, loved it. I sure did. Wheeeee!

If you're serious, I would like to live wherever you live and consume the same media that you consume.

This might be my favorite commercial ever.

Not at all! I just can't call myself an "expert" without undermining it, and I do not think it's very lucrative. There are no jabs at friends on VG.

Hahahaha. No, they're totally not. That is funny though.

Not to get too into it, but nobody at Stereogum or Videogum is to blame. We will all continue to be great friends and supporters of each other. I've chosen to aim my anger at the sub-prime credit default derivative swaps, and I'm going to have a little time now to figure out what those were.

Hi, thank you! Yes, it's true, the economy blah blah blah. But I'm still here for a little while and I have big plans for my final post, where I will absolutely let you know where you can find me on the internet, whether you want to or not. And Videogum will still be a great site (duh!) I'll try to get Gabe to institute a memorial Paul Rudd promise in my honor.

It's a movie. So some people love it, and some people hate it, and some people feel in-between about it. And all of those opinions are completely valid. But your point, "joking!" or no, is that somehow your opinion is more valid because you saw it under purer conditions? Your heart is true? And because the audience also laughed, your laughter is more justified? Come on.
