It takes too long to set up - and establishing that Kitsch is a hopeless slacker, his relationship with Decker's character and his joining the Navy is flat out ridiculous, albeit amusing. Pity they can't do that over again. It isn't worthless. I'd watch it again on DVD if I was at someone house for beer and pizza and didn't want to think.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-10259349039983840112012-04-14T17:08:57.567+10:002012-04-14T17:08:57.567+10:00I didn't stay, no.

I wonder if Berg will attempt minor (or major) reedits before it's released stateside next month? At least it doesn't appear to be entirely worthless, so I guess that's good haha.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-68889844607779039992012-04-14T00:09:23.720+10:002012-04-14T00:09:23.720+10:00Agree with everything you've said, I also gave...Agree with everything you've said, I also gave it two stars but it wasn't terrible.

He's just been in two sub-par blockbusters, and playing two very similar characters when one thinks about it. It isn't as bad as everyone has been expecting. If only it had chosen a side: serious vs. farce.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-33185453109861869912012-04-13T14:55:26.588+10:002012-04-13T14:55:26.588+10:00Yep, she's in it.
