It was alright, but way overhyped by the critics. I can't believe the number of idiot critics that had it on their top 10 list.
Someone told me later that the critics fell all over themselves because the guy who directed it is famous and this isn't his usual style. So basically they were overhyping it like they overhyped Jim Carrey and Robin Williams when they took their first serious movie roles. I'm not sure if that's true, but there has to be some explanation.
