    A mixed bag. I recognized some of the jokes from Onion newspaper issues from 7-8 years ago, representing a distressing lack of effort, and several of the sketches were inane or insubstantial, but there was a small amount of genuinely funny, insightful satire. It isn't really enough.

    only about 1/3 of the movie was funny, the other 2/3 crappy.

    This one was pretty funny. It was fun to watch with some close friends, and I laughed at a pretty good portion of it. You have to see it at least once...
