Irony is when a movie that mocks television is worse than the kind of TV it's mocking. I get what this movie is trying to say, but I don't think it's very successful at saying it. Yeah, TV is stupid, it appeals to the lowest common denominator because let's be honest, most people watching really are that simple minded. You can either put on a show that alienates the 98% with the 98 IQ and appeals to the other 2%, or you can do the sane thing and give the majority the dumbed-down, puerile garbage they love and have come to expect. My feeling from this film is that it's basically somewhere between a whine and a rant from an intelligent writer who had to sell out to pay his bills. So what? It happens all the time. And it's not worth making a movie about unless that movie is god damn funny, and this movie is not all that funny. It feels like a vanity piece. We get it, the writer is saying that TV is stupid and he's a better writer than the world will let him be. But this film exaggerates the point so much that it's not really believable, and anyway it's already been said before in much funnier ways.
I give this film two thumbs and a big toe down, topped with a nice big fart to avenge all the simple minded, TV loving Americans the writer mocked for no good reason, because this movie sucks at least as bad as the worst show I've ever seen on TV.
Apologies to anyone who cares, this is actually a 2006 movie.
