I've seen (and heard) some pretty awful reviews of the movie, but the criticisms seem to involve everything BUT its pure entertainment value, which I think is pretty reasonable. It's a fun movie, nothing more. It'll certainly win no awards for script, acting, or direction, but it's a fun movie anyway. I recommend it to anyone who goes to movies not as an art critic, but as someone looking for entertainment.
