Thoughts
I really thought this film wasn't going to be that good - another of those predictable comedies with a few jokes, some good one-liners and not much else to think about. But it wasn't. It was actually really, really funny with characters that were interesting and, whilst a little stereotypical, at least had more depth than your average comedy character does.
I liked how nerdy it was, the in jokes for tech geeks, and I really enjoyed Olivia Munn having some acting to do rather than just skulking around in not very many clothes. It was really excellent, could become a Christmas regular, and STFD is my new exclamation of choice.
Rating: 5 / 5
