the last sentence of this review be a major spoiler . i have enjoy joe dante work since piranha . he do a great deal of different genre parody that be both funny and honest . but this be pure crap . this be the kind of satire in line with thank you for smoke that be so literal and direct that it leave nothing a ) to be laugh at and b ) to leave the audience to think about . it a shame and because the plot and the material be so rich and timely and ripe for intelligent commentary . by the way and there be absolutely no reason for the main character to shoot the ann coulter character at the end of the film . it just flat out ridiculous .
