Personally, I wish they would have just left this one alone.

I thought this movie was incredibly funny. Although it did play off a lot of stereotypes about certain groups of people - definitely not a PC movie lol.

This movie was a good time - not the best movie ever made .. or remade or whatever - but I enjoyed it.

Billy Bob seems to play those low-life jerk characters a lot... he's so believable, heh.

 

[nothin' but net]

sorry thirty-two,

This movie was hands-down the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my life. This movie recieves absolutely no stars from me. It was offensive on nearly every level including children swearing like sailors, and showing the absolute ugliest side of kids sports. Parents trying to relive their sports failures through their kids...

I am so upset that I will never get those two hours of my life back. This movie will do nothing to resurrect billy bob's reeling career. It is truly sad when the best value of the evening was my $4 pepsi. There is absolutely no redeeming value to this movie at all. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't go to this movie. It will only encourage them to make more like it.

I am struggling, someone tell me a worse movie.

Sounds like it followed the original pretty well. Haven't seen it. Worst movie(s) I've ever seen: North and The Thin Red Line. Just awful.

You walked out of Amistad? Granted, it's not his best, and it's fairly standard, but there is some really good stuff in that movie (mostly around Djimon Hunsou).

I am glad that someone liked it. Maybe my image of the movie was clouded with the fact that I teach school. After living it every day, the novelty of kids swearing at each other and being rude wears off.

Jackie Brown?!? Really? I thought I loved all of QT and RR's movies until I watched "From Dusk Till Dawn" last night. I bought it, sight-unseen for $7.50 and I feel like I got robbed at gunpoint!

A-Bomb

Did you see the original?

But I liked it. I liked it even more than the original. Great movie in my opinion. Not the best, but a great movie.

 

[Bada0Bing]

I just watched it. I thought the original was great, but this one was just so-so. Thornton was pretty funny (although not as funny as Mathau). I was disappointed in the casting of the kids, especially Amanda and Kelly. The originals were much better.

 

[Matt L]

I think Greg Kinnear is pretty underrated.

And I can't believe you don't like From Dusk till Dawn. That movie gave me one of my favorite quotes of all time,
"BRING IT ON SEX MACHINE!"
