[poptosis]

Oh my god wot a bag o' shhhhhhhhhhhhhite.

Just in case you were interested

DONT BOTHER...


unless of course you like films with medeocre acting, no plot and a contrived and predictable 'twist'.

2p etc etc

actually I have wasted enough money on that movie already so I'll take my 2 new pence back

[Supersonic]

Just be grateful you didn't have to watch it at the cinema.

I found some parts quite good but those were few and far between........on the whole it was craptacular.

[parrot of doom]

Well I thought it was very good. What else did you expect - monsters and pitchforks?

[mxdi]

We just got back from Meet the Fockers. Excellent film.

Although monsters and pitchforks are ok (+/- at best) I was at least expecting something that at a braod stretch of the imagination and viewed through several Guinni (plural of Guinness) would at least pass the time.

I thought it was... couldn't tell for sure though since I was a bit.. occupied at the time.

[mxdi]

Back seat then?

[gh0st]

Agreed - absolute cack.

Glad I didnt actually have to waste money to go see it

[apache]

Saw it on the plane, it was mildly interesting and the ending uncharacteristically thoughtful for a hollywood filum, the leader could be Blair, the monster terrorism, the nutter the shoe bomber etc

I though it was a brave attempt (by Hollywood standards) to comment on the fortress America mentality. Saw it on the plane too but it certainly passed the time.

Personally I think you're reading a little much into it, I don't see it as anything other than M Night Shyamalan's endless quest to out-twist his previous works.

I wouldn't recommend it, Unbreakable however is very underrated in my humble opinion. Signs also has it's moments.

Have you heard what the follow-up is to be called?

"The Little Fockers" remember, you heard it here first!

[hiasakite]

I came out of it feeling v. disappointed and let down...

....they could have done so much more with the idea..

I borrowed a pirated DVD from a fellow PHer and for free, its definitely worth watching

I enjoyed it, not a bad film, but they could have done more with the ending.

[chris watton]

I think the film was mis-sold, I am sure it is good if you like that kind of exploring human emotion and nature thing, but ,,,,, it was sold as another Signs or similar, it was sold as a creepy ghost/paranormal drama, and it wasn't! Hence getting the wrong film goers in.
I am sure it made a hell of a lot more money at the box office because of the way it was advertised (falsly, I think!), than it would have if it were sold as per premise!
I was bored, but I do like a good Zombie flick!!

[saxo-stew]

my girlfriend wanted to see the village cos she saw the trailers and thought it looked good, i told her otherwise so we watched collateral instead, which was pretty good.
watched dodgeball too,thats pretty funny. in a stupid kinda way.
but last night i watched meet the fockers...omfg, funniest film ive seen in ages.

made the mistake of watching oceans 12 at the weekend!

i really enjoyed oceans 11 but this was just a huge pile of crap.the bit with bruce willis and julia roberts pretending to be julia roberts was awful!

but george clooney really does have a beautiful place on lake como
