User Review
Whats wrong with you people?!
Rating: 6/10
Worst movie of the year? Ok...the name is SLACKERS! Not Schindlers List
Part 2. Why do you people try to pull so much meaning out of these
stoner
flicks? What are you thinking when you rent these movies? That you'll
find
a diamond in the rough? A Spielbergian classic?!? I like stupid humor.
Sue me. I can laugh dumb nonsense. I've shown this to a ton of people
and
they all found humor in it. Cool Ethan is quite possibly the craziest
character ever written and what his face from Rushmore pulls it off
perfectly. Plus whats his face from that Stan video is PIMP in this
movie.
Seriously...take notes from STAN, eminems greatest fan.
My advice to you critics that downplay a stupid script in the first place
is
to stop watching comedy's. Stop now while you're ahead. Thank you and
good
day.
