Men Who Stare at Goats

• Scarlet_Buckeye

  

  I saw commercials for this movie and thought they were funny. The title, however, told me it would probably be lame. I never saw it in the theaters because I didn't want to waste my money on something that could potentially be a major flop. Well, I decided to rent it tonight and give it a go. What a major disappointment. This movie was horrendous. There were a few chuckles, but other than that, it was pretty much a complete waste of time. I'm soooo glad I didn't waste the $10 to go check it out at the theaters.
  
  If you haven't seen it, do not bother wasting your time (or money).

  Wow I thought it was pretty decent up until the end.

  Really? I thought the whole thing was pretty weak. I mean, was there even a point?

  Yeah I generally like Jeff Bridges, but I could tell this one had stinker potential

  Supposedly it's based on a real story. I wasn't as happy with it as I thought I would be though.

  Terrible movie. I was completely in awe that anyone could sit through it.

  I almost didn't. I only did because I had absolutely nothing else better to do tonight.
  
  I'm not one to walk out of a movie; mostly because they are so damn expensive (I don't think I have ever walked out of one). However, if I saw this one in the theaters, I think I might have walked out. It was just bad.

  Ha wow. I agree it wasn't great but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was awful. To each their own I guess.
• Glory Days

  

  yeah i didnt mind it. its not going to win any awards, but it was entertaining, which is all i ask for in a movie.

  Thanks for the heads up. I had this in my Netflix queue and was already on the fence about it..
• tigerballonline

  I watched about 1/2 an hour and gave up.

  Wow, I was going to rent this one... I guess I won't.

  I heard that was a stinker. The worst movie I have seen in the last year= Funny People. I walked out of it in theaters with some people/ It is the only movie I have ever walked out of. Just painfully unfunny, with terrible performances from everyone in it.
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Based just on the title I was never going to watch this one. The whole premise looked stupid to me.
  
  I also agree Funny People was a horrid movie to try to watch.

  I was pissed at this movie.....very deceptive with its title.....Lebron never even made an appearance.
• cat_lover

  And Muhammad Ali wasn't in it either.

  I didn't mind it. Wasn't great. But if you're only looking for perfection every time you'll be sorely disappointed.

  It's not even that. I hardly demand perfection; but asking for something that makes sense isn't asking for too much I don't think.

  Did you ever see The Land of the Lost? now that movie made no sense.

  That was another horrible movie, but at least that had more than a couple funny parts.

  I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie, but the girlfriend and I called it a date after about 45 minutes. I was bored out of my mind.
