This is about the price rigging by ADM and the Japanese companies? Joel McHale and Matt Damon w/ 30 extra pounds. Sounds like a must see.

Is it just me, or does Matt Damon looks just like Bruce McCulloch from Kids in the Hall in this.

I finally got around to watching this last night. Mrs. D fell asleep about 40 mins in, but I got a kick out of it.

The early 90's decor, costuming, sets etc. were pretty sweet. Kind of crazy to think that the early 90's were essentially the worst of the 80s, fashion/style-wise. I enjoyed the subtle foreshadowing about what was actually going on (enjoyed it retrospectively, that is, as it was subtle enough that it didn't fully click until later in the movie). Still, the movie lacks something that I can't explain. Something that would have made it pop.

If I were a better movie critic, I'd probably be able to poit out what, exactly, was missing. But I'm not, and I can't. Worth seeing once, but definitely not worth watching twice, IMO.

I found the trailer strangely satisfying to the point that I had no interest in watching the actual movie. Like a skit that made its point in full and I feared would be ruined by all the filler material required to make a movie.

I hadn't watched the trailer until just now. Honestly, I think it captured 80% of the movie's best moments, and made some scenes seem a lot funnier than they actually were. It is definitely misleading as to the overall tone of the movie (as trailers often are).
