I can see why the typical internet posting, movie watching person would not like this film. It has normal actors, but with a philosophically charming script. The movie makes many remarks that come off as pretentious and trying too hard. The problem with that analysis is that the movie IS smart, and they have to try to get such a complex message across. The writer of the film has tapped into some of life and reality's nuances that intrigue even the most feeble mind. Some will say he didn't question enough, say enough, and said it too plainly and matter-of-fact. I feel to reach a wide audience and to not leave anyone out, he had to make it accessible to the majority of people who watched it. Apparently it was STILL too much for some movie goers to handle. (as you can see from over the top negative posts...) I absolutely loved this movie. The premise is original, unique, and non-formulaic. The cast plays itself into its parts with perfect ambition and flair. The music fits the light-hearted feel of the movie's progression. There is really not anything bad to say about the production of this movie. This is the type of movie that breaks down walls about what a large-budget Hollywood movie can accomplish and say in cinematic form. I suggest this movie to anyone who has ever thought about life, reality, religion, or philosophy. It will be an interesting tale, if nothing else. rating 9 of 10.

Although some pundits would like you to believe that this WAS a good show, and that at some point it lost its flair, these people could not be more incorrect. The show changed from typical sitcom format with a satirical joke here and there to a complete satire of television, movies, and our very culture. People just cannot accept that a show can be this good for this long. Well, it can be, when the writers are constantly innovating new ways to make us laugh. Those who say the new ones are not funny are either not watching them, or disappointed that the jokes come faster, the editing is MUCH faster, and that it doesn't fit the old standard sit-com format. Those seem to be invalid points, as do the critics who say the creators made Homer too dumb, or too lazy, or blah blah blah. It's a cartoon, ANYTHING is possible. Get over yourselves and enjoy the best show that this generation will ever see in its prime. I hope the show is on for 15 more years, it is still better than anything else on television (including the shows it has inspired, i.e. Family Guy). Incredible voice acting, sharp, witty writing, and willingness to bash anyone has made this show the BEST of all times. Highly recommended to ALL.
