Satire

DVD
C+

While I thought this was an intriguing idea, I only laughed once, so I wouldn't say that it succeeds as a comedy.  Director Jason Reitman adapted Christopher Buckley's novel.

I was of course aware of this movie at the time (and that the critics hated it), but I was a Gen-Xer who avoided Brat Pack movies.  Turns out...it's about unrealistic and in some cases unpleasant characters.  Joel Schumacher directed and co-wrote, before Phone Booth etc.

Sci-Fi?

DVD
C-

I'm not exactly sure what genre this is, since it's listed as an action comedy, but there seems to be a comedic horror/sci-fi element, so I went with sci-fi because trucks are machines and I only watched the first quarter hour.  Chris Wedge directed, fourteen years after the first Ice Age.
