i love how the characters were written for each actor and were an exaggeration of who many people think they are. while the plot itself as katie says is sort of forgettable, the image of brad pitt bopping along to his ipod is rather indelible.

It was great! Look at it as a clever genre parody and you'll enjoy it.

all the actors' execution of their characters' tiny little twitches and quirks made me love this movie. it's really subtle comedy, which is why plenty of people won't like it.

It was OK, but sort of forgettable.

Funny and weird and a true modern tale about the neverending battle against the morons!
