I must say that this was a bit of a let down.  It had some funny parts to it, but overall it just seemed that it as trying too hard to be different.  7/10.

I thought it was pretty decent.  I could definitely see a lot of those people at my high school.  All the damn people quoting this movie totally ruin it, though.  "GOD" is not a quote, dammit.

6/10

Anchorman - now there's a movie abundant with great quotes :D

Ok, you two are starting to scare me.  I have this movie at home as well... (I've had it for a few days from Netflix).  I'll probably be watching it this week.

Sorry to burst your bubble, obie - I watched this several months ago.  I've got Hotel Rwanda at home right now, though.  You don't have that out, do you?

Well... I meant that Stealth just watched this... and you just watched Aviator.  And no, but HR is on my list.

I just can't stand this movie, and the fact that everyone quotes it constantly kills me.

I thought it was pretty funny when I first saw, which was like the day it came out, before everybody had started quoting it. Now it seems pretty stupid since everybody quotes it.

I watched the movie twice, there are some funny parts, and some funny quotes, but its not that great of a movie.  There are some people who really love it though.

Heck yes!

Gosh, youre such and idiot!

Eh... watched it last nite.  It's one of those movies where you have to be in the mood to laugh at stupid shit.  I laughed a handful of times, but I thought the general plot of it blew goat nuts and it was generally boring.

3/10

it gets better the second time when you actually understand the whole plot and how it weaves together. it's good for what it's good at, but it's not a comedy in the standard meaning of it

I would never watch this movie twice.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

on a slightly different note, it's funny how stealthy thought it was a let down, and govtcheez thought it was pretty decent, but stealth gave 7/10 and govtcheez gave 6/10
