I really liked this movie a lot, may have to go see it again. The car chase is great stuff.

I honestly didn't have much interest in this based on the premise or trailer, but after seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews on RT I decided to give it a shot.
To my surprise I ended up liking it. You could tell the cast had a great time filming this.
Funniest scene was where they were fingering each other's mouths to get them to puke. That had me cracking up.

I just saw it and loved it. Can't wait to own it on BD.

This movie was great. A sure pick-up once it's released on blu ray. Would probably go again in theaters if someone wanted to go.

Saw it today and really enjoyed it. I had no interest in seeing it before the reviews, but after all of the positive feedback, I just had to check it out. This movie had some great comedy in it. It's so nice to see a movie billed as a comedy and actually being able to laugh at what I was watching. The TV show callbacks were great with Depp and Peter DeLuise. I imagine after this weekend a sequel will be announced (probably without Depp or DeLuise though...)

did you already forget they died in that scene?

RocShemp

The script for the sequel is already being written and the sequel itself is poised to be greenlit if the films makes good in the boxoffice.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller now have one of those rare lifetime passes from me after Clone High, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and this. It was a complete blast from beginning to end.

The only problem I had with this film was that it needed more Nick Offerman.

Hazel Motes

The most surprising thing about this film for me was not the cameo's, but was finding out that the guy who reminded me of James Franco in the film turned out to be Dave Franco, James's brother.

gp1086

Haha - yep. He was in Superbad too.

RocShemp

And he was one of the interns in the last couple of seasons of Scrubs.

He said "without Depp or DeLuise". or did you in turn forget what you read, quoted and bolded?

mdc3000

He said PROBABLY, when it should be DEFINITELY.

Roybq

Okay. Definitely without Depp or DeLuise. I didn't want to give away a huge spoiler, but there you go.

You don't have to worry about giving out spoilers in review threads. It is assumed that if you post in a review thread you've seen the movie.
I believe that is listed in the posting guidelines.

I just read over at Wikipedia that Jonah Hill originally wanted Rob Zombie to direct this flick. I'm so glad that never happened.

Meh. They can employ an action movie cliche and have them pop up alive in the sequel. I mean, hell, Riggs survived what were meant to be fatal injuries in Lethal Weapon 2 when an extra scene was tacked on at the end. They could easily retconn the ending for this film in a sequel.

Although it'd be funny if they bring in Richard Grieco to kill him off as well.

Liked the TV show, LOVED the movie.

Channing Tatum is my arch nemesis but the reviews convinced me to see it. Absolutely loved it and I apologize to Tatum as I didn't know he had it in him.

I thought it was near perfect except for two scenes.

RocShemp

And those would be? Spoiler them if you're afraid of revealing anything to those who haven't seen it yet.

dsa_shea

I'll be down for a sequel when it gets made as long as Rob Zombie doesn't have anything to do with it.

RocShemp

He won't. The sequel was just greenlit and it will be written by the same writers and will have the same directors.

Although I did laugh at those bits, I agree they were the weak parts of the movie. In fact, they seemed more like improv than actual scripted moments.

Kory

The band practice scene was a little odd, you're right, but Tatum diving through the fucking gong had me dying. That bit alone saved that scene for me.

RocShemp

Totally agree about the gong.
