This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
