I find the title a bit misleading. I had expected more goat staring. The preview basically shows all the funny parts of the movie. This movie was more serious than funny. Im suprised that Mr. Wine of Saskatoon gave this a 3 out of 4 stars. I think his brain works differently than everyone else's. It was supposed to be witty, but it lacked the amount of wit a story like this could potentially have. I was thinking it would be like a Coen film, but it wasn't close. I liked it, I just don't like it enough to recommend or boast about how fantastic it was. The story sort of started falling after Bob and Lyn get kidnapped. I was expecting a clear head in this amongst all the whacked out characters, but it just didn't turn out like that. It needed an outside moment where someone said, "what the f*** just happened?" "Let's never mention that any of this actually happened". After I boasted about how great Spacey was in Shrink, he goes and plays a character like Larry and ruins himself all over again. I suddenly remembered him in The Return of Superman and his stupid character in that one. Why does he always have to be a lame bad guy in every movie that he acts in that makes it to the theatres? I was so disappointed that he picked the role. I think I would have liked this better as a book and not as a movie. A strong point in the movie was the narration, which added to the story, which without it, the movie would have been worse. This movie was so not what I expected from the preview and all the critical hype that the movie was so good. It wasn't so good, but it wasn't bad either; It was quite mediocre.
