I love Jack Black - but not in this movie. I thought he, along with Michael Cera would be hilarious but the laughs were too few and far between to balance out the mostly horrible writing. I couldn't believe it was PG-13 with very crude humor not fitting for young teens at all. I've only walked out on a couple of movies in my entire life and this was one...I made about an hour and 5 minutes until I just gave up. Maybe a rental but not worth a ticket.
Is it possible for any Hollywood movie to be released that doesn't take every possible shot at my country? Between the corrupt token CIA agent, and the constant Sierra Club propaganda I wasn't sure if I was watching a Bond movie or a CNN story on America being the source of evil in the world. I LOVE movies but am at my limit with this garbage. The pro-environmentalist wacko message was completely unnecessary to prove the bad guy was really bad – evidently killing people in cold blood is not bad enough anymore - drilling for oil is much, much worse. COME ON! I hold out hope for the Vince Flynn movies - if they follow the books there will be a real American hero to cheer for. If I want overt attacks on the US, I’ll watch the network news.
