Finally saw the first one last week. Didn't love it, but I think it was because I watched it alone - that kind of movie seems to need a group viewing to convey its 'funny' somehow.
Personally, I expected a darker flick, a la "Very Bad Things", which I loved.
It's odd for me to be old enough to realize that the "daring" and "edgy" studio movies are nowhere near as edgy as the '70s and '80s movies that inform them.
Last weekend, we watched "Pretty Maids All In A Row". That is a movie that no studio would make now - and we're poorer for it.
