"The Day After Tomorrow" aka "I Want My Money Back"
Definitely wait for the DVD. No, better, wait til some shmuck friend of yours buys the DVD and borrow it from him. No, better, wait til some shmuck friend buys the DVD then beat him with a baseball bat and steal it as a lesson to him for buying such a suck-ass movie.
This movie about a super storm that floods and freezes the northern hemisphere is about as cheerful as a resistant dingleberry in a thong bikini during a limbo dance.
It's from the same group that brought us Independence Day, Godzilla, The Patriot and I forgot what other big budget 'happy feely' disaster shit.
It amazes me how when these asteroids that hit Earth and bizarre storms that hit Earth just can't resist, just can't resist hitting those famous landmarks. No they won't hit or smash into Joe's Bar & Grill in bumfuck Alabama, but somehow, someway that errant meteor will travel billions of miles through space and survive the burning entry into our atmosphere to somehow hit with accurate precision some famous building or landmark.
There isn't a letter in the alphabet low enough to assign this shlock.
BUT!!! There's a BUT!!! Go when the theatre is packed with all your drunk friends and laugh your asses off. This is the best comedy of the summer. You won't believe the dumbassed dialogue these people speak. You won't believe the stupid shit they go through for no reason anyone can fathom. The audience was the best part of this movie. We were screaming with laughter and people made with the wisecracks. I hadn't had this much fun at the movies since 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. I expect in years to come midnight audiences will show this flick and throw ice when the ice storms hit and fart when the tornadoes hit and spray squirt guns when the rain hits.
It was soooo funny to see more people laughing at this movie than at Shrek 2 which was supposed to be funny.
