I decided it was just as stupid to avoid a film because it was over-hyped as to avoid it because of bad reviews. See for yourself and decide. So I took the missus last night, or she took me, and wound up as by far the oldest people in an audience that seemed exclusively 22 and younger.
It was pretty funny. Gross, as expected, but I've seen worse. Overall, it was sweet and sad, a kind of note I never really expected, a happy ending and a flattering but true-to-life portrait of the American people - - their friendliness, openness, hospitality but also their insularity and hair-trigger belligerence. The acting was pretty good, camerawork so-so, but the film was supposed to be a documentary produced by a couple of Kazakhs, so maybe that's why.
Only one couple walked out. It's worth seeing.
