Got to see this movie at the Hawaii Film Festival where we were lucky enough to have Dave himself in attendance; unfortunately, his pre-show intro and post-show Q&A with the crowd was probably funnier than most of this movie. I loved Brain Candy so maybe my expectations for this flick were a little high, but still, when half the jokes are so obvious you can see them coming, you're not going to be laughing much.
The crowd liked it quite a bit, but I have a growing suspicion that film festival patrons, at least here, have no taste and go to these movies and laugh really loudly just to feel like they have culture.
On the bright side, there were a few moments (3, I think) where I really did laugh pretty hard. Not enough to carry the entire film, however. Thus, fittingly, a 3 out of 10.
Sorry, Dave. I hope your next one is better; I'll still go see it even if I thought this was mostly a dud.
