Review:
Well, I don't think I would have picked this movie up if it weren't for my boyfriend. I'm kind of glad he got it though, because this movie was pretty funny and entertaining. If you've never heard of The Onion before, it's pretty much like the Daily Show and Weekend Update only with X-Rated material. The movie covered a lot of bases, including Britney Spears and computers and how you can never seem to get the latest version. This is the only movie I liked that cast Steven Seagal; he's Cock-puncher, what more could you ask for? This movie reminds me of SNL a lot -- sketch-like material and a lot of satire. I recommend renting this movie for a good laugh, you won't be let down.

My Rating: 7/10
