User Review
oh my god, you gotta read what I found this movie to be...
Rating: 10/10
I don't normally respond to these kinds of things, but after reading
some of the negative responses I couldn't help myself. There is a movie
out there for everyone, something everyone NEEDs to laugh at and who
can relate to. This movie is the opidemy of my humor and the extreme
way it portrays the upper crust world of stuffy, snobby, self absorbed
unrealistic people who think the world revolves around their view and
opinions is classic and makes me laugh in a way that is honest for me.
I read that some people were offended by it and want to get others to
share their view. All I gotta say is, "If you didn't like the first
one, why did you go to see the second one? Just to complain?" Do all of
us "Friends" of Jim Carey a favor, if you don't like his humor, just go
find some stuffy anal retentive "fluff" film, and write reviews on them
that we will never read since those movies are for stuck-up self
absorbed types. Sorry I just didn't think it fair that these people are
"Flameing" this as if there are no other possibilities.
