I thought the first half of the movie was funny, but then fell off sharply during the second half. It became repetative and hard to stay awake. I personally didn't mind these particular crank shots. I felt a little more confident about myself, and was able to look at the lady next to me and say, "See, I'm not that bad."
i picked this movie on blu-ray this week saw it for the first time (and stupidly didnt see the extended cut) but thought the movie was really funny. but then when i saw i didnt see the extended cut my roommate and i started watching it again with the extended and the first 25 minutes were just even funnier the second time around you've gone smell blind!
