I went to see it with a friend of mine last night. Though it had its moments, it wasn't what I expected.
First off, the guy that played the Eminem knockoff did a good job; he acted stupid enough to seem just like the real thing, had nice voice changes [as in, normal male voice to squeaky girl yell in .2 seconds], and his facial expressions scared the hell outta me.
The main girl... eh, for some reason she reminded me of Drew Barrymore. Except she sucked at acting.
There's a skit on the "Can you hear me now" commercials. Ugh.
Um... what else... the The Ring / Signs / The Matrix / 8 Mile spoofs got way outta hand; especially the Ring ones, it seemed that the movie revolved entirely around them... Leslie Nielsen was a nice touch, but he acted just like he does in The Naked Gun... and almost all his other movies. It isn't fair for the guy.
There's a deleted scene, too. In a preview shown in Entertainment Tonight, there's a scene in which Queen Latifah openly parodied The Matrix; she plays Orpheus, who literally bashes Morpheus [her husband] verbally and physically, also acting just lime Morpheus in the Matrix. This is not in the movie, it got replaced by an Oracle scene... a funny one, at that.
I suck at writing reviews. But I've seen it. Blah.
Edit:
Oh, near the end, there's a reference to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2! That's the only thing that made the movie worthwhile for me. Oh, and the reflected crotch panty shot. But that's way into the movie.
