This is an excellent film, and it's unfortunate that it wasn't more widely seen. I wish I would've caught it in the theater, as I'm sure it would be magnificent there.

In it, you're going to see some of the most painfully memorable scenes in cinema (that I refuse to give away), and an epic story that is most remarkably, wholly true.

I loved Raiders of the Lost Ark, and before "meeting" Sir Richard Francis Burton, thought characters of Indy's ilk were simply figments of Steven Spielberg's imagination. However, with study you will find that Burton's experience (and that well beyond this expedition) makes him one of the most enigmatic, interesting people to have ever walked the face of the earth. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.

Slow, smart, challenging, beautiful. And highly recommended viewing.

PLEASE DO NOT SEE OR SUPPORT THIS FILM!!!

This movie is trite, stupid, and truly offensive. And although I am not easily offended, and appreciate, good, wacky humor, not a single person laughed in the theater at 95% of the attempted jokes in this film. I've rarely seen more racial and ethnic stereotyping in a single piece, and those used here should be taken as serious affronts to all who they've offended.

If you're Asian, African American, Indian, or "different" in any other way, stay away from this drivel. There is absolutely ZERO redeeming value in seeing this piece. And please recommend that no one you know sees it either. Please don't support the message here.

Okay, so for great credits, this was written by the same geniuses who wrote the "hilarious" "Dude, Where's My Car?", the masterful "Private Parts", and the icon-of-a-film, "How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog." Gentlemen, congratulations - you've succeeded in being unfunny, unintelligent, and offensive all in one go. You owe me $12 and an apology to my Little Brother.

Listen, Jake Gyllenhaal; October Sky was brilliant, funny, smart, and uplifting. For this film, though, fire your agent. He's lowered your class and marketability by a great measure.

I am really still seething that I was lured to see this movie. I'm all for free speach, but this isn't what that is. Please, please do not see this film.

If you haven't seen this lovely little film yet, and you are due to be a young family man, I recommend it. Watch it with you significant other, and dare to try and not shed a tear, both laughing and really crying. If you're an 80's music fan, there's simply another great reason to love this film. Plus, Hughes uses fantasy outakes in a way few people had done prior to Ally Macbeal. It renders what could have been a generally typical, boring "chick-flic" a decently entertaining picture.
