In a few words, this movie is just not that funny. It is actually pretty damn boring. When I first heard about this movie, I thought to myself, "Now that sounds funny." I was wrong. While channel surfing one morning after a night of reindeer games, I happened across this "gem" of a film I had read was flat out funny. All I saw was ridiculous situations and just your usual, "My God you are stupid" jokes. Now I understand that I will never be a fan of Mike Judge because I have never EVER found anything he has done to be humorous at all. I wanted to like this film because it had every chance in the world of being incredibly funny and being a classic i would want to relive every month or so. However, I was wrong. After sitting through this waiting for the funny to happen, I realized I was waiting for a dinosaur to come around the corner. I was waiting for something that would never happen.

And I don't blame the stars. The performances were OK, nothing memorable, but it just never caught on. This is just one of those movies that did not work at the end of the day.

Many people love this movie because the fight scenes are visually interesting. To me, it is great film because of the dialog. This movie is quotable for many situations. Whether you use it as a joke or you use it as a threat against someone.

Truly this movie makes you want to stand up and go to war for your country because it does rip at your emotions. I don't mean that is a war hawk sense, but in a way that it just jacks you up for anything. Frank Miller is a master of writing and this has to be his best work that does not focus on his love for call girls. His skills here are brought to full power in this masterpiece of the written and spoken language.

Of course, these speeches and quotes are only as powerful as the person giving them and Gerard Butler delivers them like no one else ever could. He proves himself as a leading actor in this role and you would follow him into Hell itself with the way he commands attention.
