First off, did the writers get most of the dialogue off of bumper stickers? The pop culture references are getting thick in this episode. The acting is very deliberate and cartoonish, making one think some of the new characters received their roles based on who they know and not talent.

Incredibly predictable scenarios and outbursts which I suppose is fitting considering they are so related to the pop movies/tv shows/characters often referenced.

I grabbed this movie based on the title and starring roles, didn't read a synopsis, or look up what it was about. I never even saw a cover as I rented it in HD on PPV. I usually do this to make a film fresh.

After the first few minutes I was thinking okay, this could be interesting, which it indeed is. The acting is a little wavy, but the story was pretty true, and par for course, McConaughey had his shirt off in the first few moments.

Then the party scene hit, and everything got very bizarre. I suppose this could be the point that the cast and directing staff gave up, or possibly someone else took over the editing console.

It was evident that a huge continuity issue with Bridget-the Midget at the party started it all off, and it got squirrelly, almost comical. It became amusing to think that Gary Oldman probably took this role to get that "actor's stretch" that seems to get Oscars for those who play mentally challenged individuals.

I gave it a 4, out of sheer camp value.
