My nephew did like it, but I thought it was quite telling when he asked why Kato was working for Brit. He said,"If I was Kato, I'd be out of there. Nobody's going to make me get their dumb coffee."

This movie definitely was offensive in many ways. It needed a major update to...say...the 21st century. And the whole moment in which Seth Rogen figures out that his Daddy was sort of working for these people but sort of a noble guy and suddenly had his dad's voice in his head like Obi-Wan Kenobi? Okaaaaay. All in all, awful movie, awesome review.M.

Seth "The Moron" Rogen was quite annoying, but Jay Chou and my personal favorite, Christoph Waltz, did an excellent job. Plus, Waltz's vicious character is probably the most likable villain I've seen in a while. :) Otherwise, great, great review, sweetheart :)George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-5703326454006537722011-02-08T05:02:55.066+00:002011-02-08T05:02:55.066+00:00@Matty V Thank you so much!
