On 2nd viewing. Overrated

Watched it when it initially came out. Just finished my 2nd viewing on Netflix.

Not as good as I thought I remembered it. Its not a bad movie but it does seem to be overrated.

Kinda agree to a degree (that rhymed) :) I also saw it when it came out, and imo, that film really benefited being on the big screen. Meaning it loses some impact watching it on t.v, which lots of films do also. But for me i enjoy it every time i throw it in the dvd player. Just a fun film with the right amount of horror/comedy.

Perhaps a 3rd viewing is needed. I think that in a lot of ways this movie is under-rated.

I think one of the most overrated things in existence is the word "overrated". People use it when they are unable to verbalize actual thoughts.

Than you must be extremely sucky at speaking your thoughts, because you just used that word twice. :)
