From Bobcat Goldthwait, that high-pitched anarchist from the Police Academy films, comes a great looking dark comedy about a guy tired with his life and today's society, who is diagnosed with inoperable terminal brain cancer, and instead pulling the trigger on his own fate, he starts offing reality TV stars and other, well, equally annoying people. Of course, he gets a young female sidekick to go along with the master plan.

Looks amazingly hilarious.

.

It's almost like a mix between Kick-Ass, Juno and Postal.

 
You mean Falling Down? It was a bit more of a satire and more about a psychological breakdown, while this looks more like a balls to the wall take on existing tropes.
 
True, I think this looks like there's a lot of potential for laughs, but nothing too revelatory, just plain old in-your-face fun. Guess we'll have to wait till May to find out.

Either way, I love the trailer, damn well done.
 
this movie just looks like one of those movies that is just super fun to watch. It could be the shitiest thing ever but I wanna see it and I know I will like it.
 
That looks absolutely amazing! So politically incorrect that it will probably make a lot of sense.
 
as bad as it may sound, I've pictured that movie theatre scene playing out in my head many times when someone obnoxious is behind me
 
Hahah, thanks for that great and insightful observation. I'd watch your reviews instead of Ebert by a long shot.

"There are three films premiering tonight.

All three - could be great, but could also be shit.

Good night and see you next week."
 
Thank you!

I actually was positively surprised! The trailer was fucking amazing but condensed the good parts, so I didn't have high expectations, but it was a hilarious from beginning to end!

The only thing that irked me was that some of the rant scenes were both a bit too long, and maybe a bit our of character, if you see what I'm saying, especially concerning Frank's age and how much he knows about pop culture.

All in all, damn good, a semibad "Good" movie, 4/5. Would watch again.
 
you lost me at bobcat

and you furthered the stereotype that the rest of the world finds the Police academy movies funny
 
PA 1-4 are good-bad, and kind of a staple in Finnish summer TV, don't know about elsewhere.

MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!
 
well i just finished watching it, and this definantly says something about what society has come to.and its really really as well.
