Well, I'd like to second the woman who says that this is definitely not a series for adolescent boys! What in the world? I'm a woman and have been a fan since I was 10 in 1990, and now that I'm about to graduate from university it's still one of my favorite shows!
That said, MST3K: The Movie is not the best that the series has to offer. It's definitely hilarious, but many of the individual episodes are better. If I wanted to introduce a newbie, I'd probably pick something like Manos or Eegah...but even so, "The Movie" is a nice piece of work. I was also grateful to see that they didn't make any incredible changes for the purposes of making the show more accessible to the general public. The fact that it's attempting to appeal to a wider audience (that composed of both MSTies and total newbies) is obvious, but not too distracting. All in all, a good job and a lot of fun.
