Why in the hell did I like this movie?  Was it just because of my exceptionally low expectations?  I have no idea.  When I sit here and try to pick apart the movie, I realize that there were so many ridiculous parts that there is just no reason for me to like this movie at all.  But I did.  And that my friends is more troubling to me right now than anything. 

If you accept the fact that it is just going to be silly, then you might enjoy this film.  Personally, for me it was just OK -- I only really laughed out loud once ("FLASH ... AAAAHHHHAAAA ... Master of the Universe!").  But, then again, just looking at Will Ferrell makes me laugh, so I am kind of biased.  Jon Heder was horrible, though.  Just horrible.

I thought Spiderman 3 overall was a good movie experience.  It was cheesy in parts (e.g., American Flag) and the coincidences were just a little too much (Hey, of all the skyscrapers in New York, the daughter of the Fire Chief is modeling on the floor that is hit with a crane, the boyfriend of said model is taking pictures, and her classmate is saving her).  The movie went on for about 30 minutes too long.  That said, you know you are watching something fun when you take your 11-year-old son and five friends to th move, and they are quiet the whole time (once the movie actually started).  They were completely in awe of the movie and talked about it the whole way home.  Myself: I liked it, but I can see why people were disappointed.
