The Guardian's review was more mixed and they also reveal the ending. I'm sure they won't be the last.

The AIC review didn't make it sound to hot.

All the fucking better. I'd put more stock in a capsule review by Pat Robertson.

Well, it turned out to be the Alamo Drafthouse, who are making it their first nationwide release. Just found out there was a free screening w/ Morris Q&A in DC tonight (it opens Friday).

Post by: Country Lobster on November 05, 2010, 04:50:10 PM: Got to see this here in Brooklyn the other night with a Q&A. I liked the movie a lot and thought it was funny and well made. It was also a very cool treat to get to see Chris Morris and hear him talk about the film and answer questions. He's obviously a great speaker and just comes off as funny, intelligent, and nice.
