Firstly, I hate it when people say "I used to love the show". Firstly the show is thirty years old. Which all means we are thirty years older, I bet allot of what was funny then wouldn't even crack a smile on all our crinkly faces...
That said, I say this with my two sons tonight. While I will agree that the jokes were boarish and juvenile, I need to ask. WHAT DID YOU ALL EXPECT? This isn't Stranger than Fiction, there is NO attempt at being serious or thought provoking. The whole point was hokey, campy, inane humor. For those who walked in expecting as much seemed to enjoy the movie.
I appreciate a wide variety of movies for many different reasons, but those people who feel the need to absolutely trash a movie for not being on the scale of their intellect, I say Nah Nah. My two boys and the 100 or so other adolescents laughed a good bit and smiled through the rest. Sure, I rolled my eyes, but when I figured out I had 20yrs on the rest of the audience I let myself revert a bit to a goofy 13yr old and all of a sudden the movie was a little more enjoyable...
Let your dumb-a** inner child enjoy this goof-ball movie.
