Yes in a way I haven't been since the last Friedberg and Seltzer monstrosity. It's quite refreshing though to see the reviews thrashing this piece of jingoistic propaganda garbage.

Plus the plot based on what bits I heard sounds more like it's from a video game, not a supposedly "realistic" move about military action. Apparently the SEALs go all around the world fighting "associates" of the terrorists including Mexican drug cartels, Chechen rebels and Filipino suicide bombers. (yes there are Islamists in the Philippines, but they tend not to use suicide bombing as a tactic.)

Also look at the soundtrack for proof of jingoistic nonsense.

It causes nothing but division and destruction and is a sin.

Not surprising this POS opened at #1, though the competition sucks.

No good movies for quite awhile, or recently, not surprising that a French silent film won Best Picture really. I think The Onion brilliantly summed up that stupid-looking Project X well "What does a house party look like in the YouTube era? Answer: Just like every other house party."

They're trying viral marketing like this is some type of revolutionary new film (see the name even), when all it's about is a bunch of kids throwing a party. Yeah, that's original and has never been done before!
