Saturday night "Nachos and Drinks" movie, I never pay attention to the plot, or the acting.

It doesn't try to succeed on those terms. It tries on a far more pubescent, unsophisticated level. en fin, it is not trying to be a good (not to mention "great") movie. It is trying to be "mindless entertainment". And after the third drink, the explosions are even more fun and the acting matters even less.

It does bother me that most of the box office successes fall into this class, but this movie bothers me far less than films that are trying to be "good" or "great" movies, whose plots are just as bad and acting more pretentious and which skate by because they are "politically correct".
