I had a friend who felt the same way about Forest Gump. I saw it, agreed with her and never watched it again. Liz is right. Most comedies do poke fun at someone one. I may watch it when it comes out on video. From the article, it sounds like it is making fun of the stupidity of actors and let's face it, some of them are pretty dumb. Wynona Rider comes to mind.

I won't be seeing it and it has nothing to do with the movie itself. We just don't go to the movies and when we do it is a kid flick...lol
