This guy saw it and posted his thoughts in the already existing Paparazzi thread:

the bias against the Paparazzi is obvious but i didn't mind
I love revenge films where the revenger gets to kill and get away scott free

Just seeing the previews I imagined Bruce Willis hunting down paparazzi and killing them 
How would he get away with it??!?
There's one movie I will gladly never see

Spoiler:
The movie was silly but somewhat enjoyable. I didn't hate it, but it was a complete logical mess.
Spoiler:
and so on and so on...
And the cameos were weird, because they seemed like they were comedy movie-style cameos, shoved into this (attempting to be) serious story.

SPOILER (not like it matters, thread is kind of dead)
I thought Vaughn's and Mel's cameos were great, Rock's seemed very Airplane'ish. As far as Adrenaline Force goes, would a major star of his supposed caliber follow up his first big hit with a sequel?

I watched this last night. And while it is a very silly movie indeed and tough to take seriously, it was quite entertaining. I liked the cameo's (nice to see Tim Thomerson back on screen) and Tom Sizemore did another over-the-top whacko nut-job performance. WTF was up with the techno music during the kids soccer game though?!?

I haven't seen it yet. It was also one of those movies where the studio wouldn't let critics screen it before it came out (i.e. Amityville Horror, Alien vs. Predator, From Justin to Kelly, Cursed), so that might tell you all you need to know.
On the other hand, there's nothing morally wrong with killing paparazzi.

I don't think the movie was meant to be taken too seriously. Too me it came across as a big inside joke for celebrities. They would get the most enjoyment out it. Celebrities could live out their fantasy of killing paparazzi vicariously through the movie. Gibson probably made it(he was the producer, right?) to see on screen what he would really like to do off screen. That was my take on it. I liked it.
