They're like mormons or something (no slight on my mormon peeps--I love the Osmonds and Gladys Knight) they edit movies. I rented Y Tu Mama Tambien for my then girlfriend to watch (why? Why? why?--whatevs, I'm better off..) and they totally mangled the 'gay' scene. Like, totally cut it out. So, then I'm left to wonder, how many flicks have I watched where good old blockbuster vids cut out a racy part. I used to use the mail order service pretty regularly until that bit of censorship. So, eff you Blockbuster for trying to maintain family values. And eff you Zach Braff (i'm hating major right now) for making movies and dating hot actresses...oh, and eff you too Satan-- Man, blockbuster is crap.

The movie isn't if you aren't expecting a Hollywood romantic comedy. If you want a decent heart felt look at romance it's a good film. Hey V

Nothing like Garden State. Not that it had to be or I was expecting it to be but it was unbelievable casting. The torrid love interest was not only unbelievable but it seemed like a self-promoting piece of crap for Braff. Hot 19 year old woman falls for dork-a-rama moody "architect" Braff. Totally unrealistic. Also, if I had friends like the guys in the movie, I would shoot one (the love struck dumped guy), poison one (the long blond haired Don Juan with polonium-210 so he would lose his hair and die a horrible death) and really give an asskicking to one (Affleck's lil' bro.) Not to say that I am a violent guy. Just saying that they were a bunch of idiots (who think they are so damn brilliant) turning 30. The movie was trying to be cool with late 20's angst and ended up being "white angst" misogynistic dribble. I'd thank Ryan and the movie bitch. God, even the Ballad of Ricky Bobby was better. At least the misogynistic content was humor driven. Ricky Bobby: "Are we gonna get it on?" Susan: "Yeah." Ricky Bobby: "Good...cuz I'm harder than a diamond in an ice storm..." Yep, the movie did suck.

Now, I'm more of a movie snob than she is, but we both were in a mood to watch something not too heavy, silly even, and wondered "well, how bad could it be? The ads looked alright, maybe we should give it a shot." The Blockbuster guy came over and said, "sir, ma'am, I'd like you to know that the movie you are holding in your hands is one of the most racist, unfunny movies ever. It's all a bunch of 'black' jokes and other stereotypes and, honestly as an African-American I was offended." Now we, being fairly smart people, had kind of figured that it would be that type of humor, and we were okay with it (we both eventually loved Borat when it came out). Still, this guy had made a point of coming over and saying "don't rent it, it's offensive" to us, and I think even if we hadn't bothered to hear him out, it would have been uncomfortable to turn and say "we'd like to rent it anyway." So we asked him, if not Soul Plane, what do you think a funny movie would be? You know, one that isn't racially offensive and full of low-brow humor? "White Chicks" he replied, completely deadpan, before he turned away. To this day, I have no idea if he was teasing us or not, but we left with some third movie that didn't have anything to do with race, and I'm pretty sure wasn't supposed to be funny. Since then I've stopped listening to people in Blockbuster stores. I just do the netflix now.

The last part is not a clear indication of how well it did. 3) Why was it not in theaters? Straight to video releases don't always, or really ever, mean it'll be good. Just ask Steven Segal.

Many people I know thinks the same, also. Is perfect if you're in a relationship and 25 or above (ja! you already are!), but best if seen among friends than a couple. Seriously if you can rent that one, you'll really enjoy it.
