This movie was hilarious! I laughed non-stop through the whole thing. I do think a lot of the jokes were aimed specifically at Canadian's, though, so other countries may not understand some of the uhh colourful references to Quebec or our obsession with the Leafs, lol.

I was on the fence about seeing this, but now I'll definitely put it on my list of movies to see.

How do they judge $5m? the weekend isn't even over yet... if it has done 5m in 24 hours, it could do another 5m in 24 hours.. when the weekend is actually over.

They usually judge it by how big the opening day is because if its a big hype the money it takes first day will be 90% what it takes all weekend...anyway this is where I read it.

The commercials and previews looked stupid. Is it really that good?

I thought it was retarded. All recycled Austin Powers jokes.

This movie = EPIC FAIL.

Anyone who likes trash comedy like "Meet the Spartans" and like, then this movie is perfect for you.

Name me one movie you HAD to watch just because Ms. Alba was in it.

Drop dead gorgeous? Definitely.
Good actress? Hell no.

It wasn't that bad ... I think you really need to be Canadian to get it, since a lot of the jokes are aimed specifically at Canadian's (such as Quebecers).

That movie was...uhhh...errr...just...disastrous. It was the most juvenile, immature mess I've ever seen in my life. The satire was unfunny, the jokes were recycled and so lame. There was so much dead air thorughout the movie, except for the few times the retards in the theater laughed at his peepee or dick or **** jokes...

Only 5 scenes were funny...other than that, I sat there feeling sorry for Mike Myers. If you don't believe me, read the reviews; 22% on metacritic...

How old are you?
Seriously? What was the funny? The tasteless mop ****-tag game? Any one of the 100 penis jokes or double entendres? Maybe it was the sexist and midget jokes..

As far as the Maple Leafs jokes or the "Le grande ****" pun go, I failed to see the funny. They were just LAME joke leveled at a team that has gotten its share of ridicule - enough now, it's no longer funny. And I've also heard enough Quebec jokes; the ones in the movie were just downright gay. Way to stuff your crotch with newspapers Justin, it made the scene a lot funnier...

You're sitting there asking someone how old they are when you sit there insulting him for his opinion? He thought something was funny, yet you insist it was utterly lame, and you're asking how old he is? You refer to the jokes in the movie as "gay" as in bad, and you're asking how old he is? Really? blink.gif

The jokes WERE gay. That wasn't a metaphor...and why the **** are you defending the movie anyway? Its rating on metacritic is 24%, on rotten tomatoes 15%, the lowest of any box-office hit. And if you're gonna give me that ****ing "it's only an opinion " bull****, well, you need to get your **** together. Some people saw Hitler as a hero, but we shouldn't discount our universal view of him as a war-monger now, should we?

And when I asked him his age...This movie was a juvenile catastrophe...only a very immature audience with an extremely unsophisticated humor would find that garbage funny; it was catered for an American audience so to speak.

You really need to chill out.

How are you going to sit there and call others immature and ignorant when you're using the word "gay" to describe how stupid the movie is? Do you not see the immaturity and ignorance of everything you've posted? Especially in the way you're using the word "gay"?. Don't give me the excuse "Oh I'm just using it to describe something that's stupid" because that's just a pathetic excuse and it's getting old.

If anyone is immature here, it's you. Not everyone likes the same type of comedy. Just because you think it's stupid, doesn't mean everyone else in the world is going to agree. You're being a little too over-dramatic about this whole thing. It's a movie for crying out loud. Get over it. Nobody forced you to watch it and you keep bringing up how it got awful reviews, yet you still went to see it. You only have yourself to blame there.

I'll probably wait for a video release to be honest. Mike Myers IMHO has gone down hill since Austin Powers 1. The sequal was good still but IMHO not as great and by the 3rd it was all just a rehash of the others and a real lemon in what had been a good series.

The trailer to this didn't look very good at all...and the fact he's playing a sex guru after three Austin power films to me indicated he'd be using the same sort of Austin Powers sex/mojo jokes that we've seen before. Unless I've missed some of his films since Austin Powers 1 that deviates from the sex god role, I do think he should try and reinvent his role a bit. He's funny enough but hes pidgeonholed in the same role and it's running out of steam fast.
