Really bad attempt at faking a documentary
This is by far, (no exaggeration) the WORST film I have ever seen. In the opening scene you hear the "documentary maker's" voice telling you how they had been interviewing couples for a documentary on relationships and stumbled on Rob and Melanie who had this interesting theory about relationships and breakups. At this point you are left to imagine that this is a legitimate documentary... interesting... perhaps. Anyway about 2 minutes into the movie you realize it is not really a documentary, the responses are too obviously scripted and they are very poorly executed by these "actors." Actually the only good performance is on the part of Page (Kari Matchett) who you might recognise from "Blue Murder." Although the film is relatively short (77 minutes) I couldn't stand watching all of it. Luckily I had it on DVD so I skipped the long drawn out monologues (which unfortunately pollute most of the film). Basically the whole thing is predictable: Everyone knows about those couples who break up thinking everything will be fine and then everything ends up going to s**t and then they feel bad about it, feel nostalgic and eventually get back together only to break up again after sometime. Know what I'm talking about? Seen this in real life before, more than once? Then you don't need to see this movie. And on another note, it's categorized as a comedy... they really stretched the definition of "comedy" to fit this one into it. There wasn't even one remotely funny scene in this entire movie. Spare yourself the $4 or $5 it costs to rent it, it's not worth it at all. Two thumbs and all other digits and toes down!

They put the "F" back into F%@#ing Funny
This has to be the funniest movie I have seen in a long long time. The way the puppets move is enough to make you wet your pants laughing! This film is hilarious. The boys from South Park really know how to make the public laugh. I think this film is targeted at non-Americans, although I can't imagine most Americans not laughing either. They poke fun not only at the US war-mongers but also at the lefties including several well known actors and activists. And of course, who could forget the main evil-doer of this film, the lovable Kim Il Jung... his "I'm so ronery" song is one of the most memorable scenes. They did an outstanding job with the puppets, and the soundtrack is hilariously entertaining. A must see for anyone who wants to laugh and leave with a smile. 10/10!
