Damn by RenoNevada2000	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:44:40 AM
I was going to a screening of this tonight. Oh well, it's free...
Blah, whatever by ryandowneyjr	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:54:48 AM
Rainn Wilson is pretty much the most annoying thing about the American Office, so this just stinks of that Joe Dirt shit. Kooky guy from office sitcom makes white trash movie that no one goes to see. Whatever.
but it looked so good. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:54:51 AM

I fucking hate Rainn Wilson. by Mosquito March	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:06:54 AM
Whenever I see his name attached to a movie, even a cameo, it makes me not want to see it. So, I can't imagine what it's like to watch a two-hour movie focused on HIM.
Not THAT bad... by thelostboy	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:08:00 AM
I saw this as the Surprise Movie at the Edinburgh Film Festival and actually found it quite funny, as did most of the audience. Its certainly much funnier than the hugely disappointing School of Rock which it'll no doubt be compared to all the time. On a definite plus side, Christina Applegate is one serious MILF these days!!

Wilson has built a career out of imitating Tim Robbins' "I'm really, really confused" stare.
Could have gone all day without seeing that. by FlickaPoo	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:15:38 AM

Shia The Beef? by fiester	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:30:17 AM
He knows from sucking. I would trust him if it really was our boy Shia.
not funny? No shit! by StovetopStuffin'	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:54:31 AM
Rainn Wilson is a funny actor, but this just looks like shit. Same with that playboy bunny sorority movie. Loves me some Anna Faris, and as a playboy bunny, even better, but the movie just looks like shit.
Rainn is great in small doses but I honestly... by Powers Boothe	Jul 2nd, 2008 10:06:53 AM
don't think I could ever spend 90 minutes or so with him. Sometimes I feel he's trying a little too hard. I'll catch it on DVD largely due to Jane Lynch's involvement. She rocks.

Sounds like someone won't be itching to leave his cushy network TV gig any time soon...
From the trailer it was obvious this would be shit by ingloriousjedi	Jul 2nd, 2008 11:14:21 AM
This will end up getting around 5.3 o n imdb.
I never knew there was a remake for school of rock. by Dr. Wordsmith	Jul 2nd, 2008 02:01:38 PM
shit
Who cares by tacitblue	Jul 2nd, 2008 02:24:02 PM
Why do I care what some nobody's think about this movie, I mean really.
Ummmm, who hasn't . . . by Jarro	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:07:42 PM
. . . written for the Simpsons at this point? I think I've even written a little bit for the Simpsons and I'm not even a writer. Let's stop using the Simpsons as a writing credit from here on out. Figure it's a given and use something else for a writing credit. Kind of like when Wheel of Fortune now spots you the 3 consonants and a vowel for the final puzzle. the Simpsons.
Rainn Wilson Gotta Eat by toxicbuddha	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:28:15 PM
It's amazing how many irrelevant people make films these days. I was all over the British Office; never really saw the point in seeing it Americanized. Further proof that we didn't get small, the films did.

I'm not a fan of Rainn or the Office, but the premise sounded better than School of Rock. Still, I'll hold my judgement until I see it.
Two good reviews by Thunderbolt Ross	Jul 2nd, 2008 05:32:19 PM
I especially liked the second one.
The problem is... by cooterbrown	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:51:35 PM
Rainn Wilson. The guy is not funny. The Office is the reason network television never gets better. Trolls laugh at garbage and demand nothing better. The networks aren't challenged to work any harder to improve their product. It's all because of Rainn Wilson. Dumb stage name too. Dumber if it's real.
