litheraYou know, I saw this movie last night for free.
Some part of me cringes at the fact that I loved this movie. I haven't laugh so hard at a movie and a long, long, long time. I almost feel guilty for liking this movie so much. I think what saves it for me is that not there cliches in this movie, they're acknowleding them along the way, they're almost abusing them. The characters know they're cliches and seem more than happy about it.
If you liked Zoolander you'll like this movie. Esentially the people who made Zoolander looked at it and said, 'We can do better than that. Let's go further this time.' There are all the random cameos of Zoolander (though no one gets a pause like David Bowie did). This time there is nothing more than a plot so contrived not all of the /characters/ believe it. There is low humor and some fairly high, though more hidden, humor as well. (Deus Ex Machina written on something that is exactly that.)
Firefly fans - you must go see this for Alan Tudyk as The Dread Pirate Steve. That and the random cameos alone are worth the price of admission. I'm not going to give you any spoilers but the cameo in the airport is my favorite.
If you go, which I do recommend, stay through the credits. All of them. There is a bit at the end which is funny, though funnier in places than others.
