Nate's review:

After last week's debacle with Mr. Silly of KSLY (see my "Man On Fire" review), I called up to the station to tell him what I thought of his unnecessary silliness. As my luck would have it, I happened to be the fifth caller of some sort of contest. Now, you normally have to be the tenth caller to win a contest, but the silly and sly folks at KSLY decided to change it up a little, and of course, I won the contest. I berated Mr. Silly via telephone, but that didn't make it to air, just the part where I won. When I went to pick up the tickets from the station, there was a post-it attached to them with a little message from none other than the Sillyman himself. It said, "Thanks for listening!" It enfuriated me so; I thought of kicking his ass the next time I saw him. But then I decided, to quote another Bastard, to "piss all over him the next time I see him." So, about the movie: I was hating this for the first 45 minutes or so. It was moving along so son of a bitching slowly, and the whole look of the film was bothering me intensely, along with the microchip implanted in my brain by the evil Stefano. To me, it looked like one of those chocolate Reisen commercials that they shoot in Germany or whatever and then dub into English-- funky lighting and colors, and everybody is dressed strangely. But then, Walken comes in and steals the whole fucking show. I'm not sure why exactly he kicks so much ass, I just know that he does. In addition to being one of our better living dramatic actors (just ask that Oscar on his bookshelf if you don't believe me), his comedic talent is amazing-- that's why he's always so good on Saturday Night Live. I have a fever, and the only prescription is more Walken! It's the only thing that saves this movie. I say see it, he makes it worth the price of admission single-handedly. Now, if I can just get this microchip to give me a moment's peace...

Rating: 3 out of 10 dead horses before the advent of Walken, 8 out of 10 after

Jason's review:

Hey Nate, thanks for finally taking me to see a movie that you won a pass for instead of some girl you will more than likely live with some day (platonically, of course). I think Mr. Silly sucks but as long as he's giving out free movie passes he's OK in my book! Nate is pretty much right on in his review. You know I love Jack Black, but he really isn't even in it that much. Walken completely steals the show. He reminded me of Ryan in one part where he does this dance that only Craiggers, and apparently Walken, can do. It does start off slow, not bad, just not that funny. But it does pick up. One thought while watching though: Stiller is making too many movies. He is stretching himself too thin. He is talented, but he has a movie coming out every other month. Hey, you know my motto is CTC (Cut the Check, Cut the Check), but come on Stiller, focus on a few things and make them really good. You know, this movie is probably worth seeing, but nowhere near classic status.
Rating: 3.2 out of 5 times Walken stole the show
