HOWEVER, that being said, i laughed more than not at its unquestionable nonsense. so on that front, i gotta call it a success. saw the movie today…

I grew up on LotL as a kid and was very disappointed when I saw Will Farrell cast in it. I was further disappointed with the idiotic trailers I'd seen. I was pretty sure I would have this movie. So when my nephew really wanted to go, I said "what the heck?" I was right. There is not one single redeeming quality about this movie. Not one. It's an insult to those of us who grew up with this series, and it's an insult to anyone who paid $8 to go see it even if they didn't grow up with it. Further, my 12 year old nephew hated it, too. I hope in the future that the only way Will Farrell makes it into a film studio is with a tour pass. I really didn’t want to see this movie.

Sometimes the wrong hands are given power on franchises they aren't creative enough to make widely acceptable/enjoyable. even the praise for it being a stoner comedy didn’t help the experience for me.

There's nothing really worth sticking your neck out for in LOL. It's tepid, unfocused, and uninspired. Usually the movies that divide audiences (like Watchmen and Speed Racer) are at least bold in saome fashion or another. This movie isn't really worth talking about at all. “lonely, if moderate, admiration” is the key here. There’s nothing really worth sticking your neck out for in LOL.
