Wasn't this a comedy? (rated 4 stars)


I mean I laughed lots and lots. Who would have thought that Matt Stone and John Waters might be so funny? With gentle humor, it explained why a certain kind of American movie seems to suck when compared to European movies—though I’ve seen a few stink-bombs from Europe, American movie makers seem to specialize in dreck—despite having a much larger budget. Oh, and there’s a p.i. All sorts of comedy ingredients.

Wait, it’s a documentary. My bad.

But, again, it was pretty telling about how in terms of ratings violence is ok, but real, non-simulated sex is bad. The MPAA’s real purpose, if this movie is any guide, is to limit what stories can be told to American audiences.

Worth seeing.
