I do not understand the low rating of this film. Yes it's over the top, and yes it's almost comical in some of its delivery; however, it is also brilliant in its own way. Josh Brolin is genius, Elizabeth Olsen is gorgeous and brilliant, and finally Sharlto Copley is superbly diabolical.

I am not a great of Spike Lee, but I found this film wildly entertaining. I cannot compare it to the original, as I have not seen it yet (although its on my list) but I truly enjoyed it. Ignore the haters, which let me say I am extremely tired of people complaining about American remakes of foreign films.

I only speak English and honestly, watching a movie with subtitles really lessens the experience. So for everyone out there that thinks watching foreign films somehow makes them intellectually and morally superior – it doesn't.

Definitely worth the watch, and much more deserving of a much higher rating (I gave it a 9).

I have to agree with some others, that this movie is pure entertainment from beginning to end. It is hilariously funny and makes movies like Superbad look like a Disney film. This movie takes the whole notion of "nerd gets popular" to a new level. The actors are mostly new faces, but they do a great job.

There are so many other really awful movies, most of them starring anyone from the American Pie movies, that a movie like this deserves attention and praise. Don't go see mindless comedies and expect something else, if you do that you don't deserve the right to review the movie.
