If you went into a Seth MacFarlane movie expecting high brow wit and cerebral dialogue...you're gonna have a bad time. the movie is exactly what you thought it would be, rife with toilet humor and genital jokes. it is by no means a cinematic masterpiece, but it but it pulls off exactly what it tries to do. garner laughs at the expense of fart jokes and getting kicked in the junk. great for a matinée and a good way to pass a rainy afternoon here in Florida. I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of his work. if you're not, then this is simply not the movie for you.
To sum it up, it is as awesomely stupid as you think it's going to be. You should go see it!

Woody acting and product placement ruined this movie for me. i'm not sure how he did it, but spike lee even manged to make 20 years in captivity feel rushed and uneventful. to elaborate further, there was ZERO character development, everything felt pushed along, including the 20 years in the room. he was just a pitiful alcoholic for YEARS, then "EPIPHANY", a five minute montage of getting clean and getting in shape annnnd he's out. there was no passion to it, there was no empathy that you get from the original, you don't feel sorry for him. he's just a sociopath on a revenge spree. although, i think the big ending twist was done well, the overall movie was a snooze fest. they even managed to make a pivotal scene, the hallway fight, BORING and pushed along.
everything the main character is, is because of that room, his life, his persona, his transformation, and his realizations. it had no heart. the subtlety and nuances of the original are just lacking. like i said, you you don't care about the characters, you're just waiting to see what happens next...and what made it even worse, is that i KNOW what's going to happen next, but dammit, i wanted my money's worth.
