Seriously why do people say this movie is great? I laughed maybe 3 times, the rest it seemed boring and the only character I liked was the annoying Vietnam veteran, the rest were pretty forgetable. It's supposed to be a "smart" comedy yet some of the jokes are fucking stupid and retarded. Maybe this movie isn't for me and that's why I didn't like it. You have to be American to understand all the references to American society and way of life? You have to be a stoner or a NEET to identify with the main character? You have to have lived the 90s and in the West Coast to understand the context? I also read somewhere that this movie is a parody of noir film from 1940s and 1950s and I haven't watched any of those so maybe that's why I didn't get it either.
