Vampires have become ridiculous. The "twilight" vampire, a term honoring that laughable saga made for shallow teenagers, permeates the entertainment industry, and it's hard to find one of these creatures not affected by it.
Luckily, we have films like this Swedish piece; full of little details which give credibility and overall "coolness" to production, it dwells in dark areas of the mind, away from the corny and cheesy spotlights of pre-pubescent fanbases.
It is not in-your-face explicit, while being more clear and straight than others, perhaps because of that.
Tired of sissy vampires and their ridiculous stories? Detox with this great movie.
(Oh, I don't think the English version was bad, but the original is clearly superior)

I was excited to see Moore, from the beginning, aggressively tackling the corrupted American system. Even when The United States were colonized by European people with little scrupulous and a lot of bloodlust and greed, the founding fathers had some good ideas about how to do things properly, and it'd be great to have them back instead of having this travesty of political and social system that is North America nowadays.
Unfortunately, not far into his "invasion", Moore disappoints extremely with his praise of the menu served in the French school. How in the world can a meal containing dairy, and in such ridiculous high amounts, be something to admire?? I'm just not talking here about what the dairy industry does to non-human animals, not even what it does to the environment, but how unhealthy is in any diet. Giving that amount of cheese and other dairy products systematically, in a daily basis, to children should be a crime. But, hey, it is not only the American FDA that is corrupted to the core, but also your average officially approved nutritionist anywhere in the world. After all, the dairy industry is powerful everywhere. Their propaganda doesn't know of cultural barriers or languages. Perhaps Moore should get his hands dirty with that issue, affecting millions all over the world, instead of saying that the menu of that French school is brilliant. Hm, maybe it doesn't suit him to do that, for personal reasons.
Anyway, I'm not one of those haters from Hollywood who wants Moore dead. I'm also not one of those trendy revolutionaries who think that Moore is the saviour of the world. I'm only an informed citizen as far as certain issues go (nutrition and health, in this instance).
Alas, after that incident, I watched the rest of the 2 hours documentary with a bit of suspicion, and opinion I read years ago about Moore manipulating facts came to mind.
In any case, the film is interesting and, somehow, inspiring, even when it only takes the real good stuff into account (Moore confesses this at the beginning), and doesn't really look at the big picture.
Anyhow, it'd be indeed great to have some (or all) of the ideas implemented in most countries, not only U.S.A. Without the lactose, please.

When I saw Justin Bieber's face first thing into the movie, I was afraid that all the bad comments about it were true. Fortunately, it was just one of the many little cameos. Then, straight comes Penelope Cruz, and she stayed during the whole movie. However, this over-glorified actress/celebrity doesn't damage the film too much, and she becomes bearable once you get into it.
For the rest, I was not once disappointed or bored during the hour and forty minutes I well spent watching this, an excellent satire of social standards and the superficiality and stupidity of the world we live in.
I love how it makes fun of the laughable fashion industry and its ridiculousness, similarly to "Bruno", although the latter wins if only because real models and designers (what fancy words for such talentless people) prove themselves how dumb they are. That tiny phone ipadwhatever joke, BRILLIANT! I've thought so many times that people will end up using something as big as their heads just to be "cool".
The whole ridiculing of the hipster-slash-trendy world, so close to fashion, is also brilliant. Take that "All" person, portraying how people are forced to accept transsexuals, pansexuals, and other -sexuals just because you must do it, without having the right to ask for explanations, particularly in the world of being cool and modern, where is so trendy to accept all forms of sexuality (and everything else!) regardless the little understanding of them or even real acceptance ("I really hate you guys, I'm so happy you are here", hahaha). And so, you will be stared down until you admit that any and A/all sexuality is good, destroying personal opinion in the process, just to make them feel better with themselves ("All is done here").
Stiller and Wilson shine again with this big joke, and the amazing Ferrell is WOW! It seems to be the reality check of the movie, and I love how he screams truths about the stupidity of fashion. Even that kid who looks like Beakman junior does a good job.
Oh, a note: the fact that you only laughed 5 times during the whole movie doesn't make it not funny. Your opinion is still that, a subjective vision, not an undeniable truth, pillar of all objective reality. Don't be so darn egotistic.
Once again, deciding to ignore people's reviews on IMDb paid off and gave me the chance to witness a funny expression of the idiocy of reality with all its silly big little made up worlds. Now go tweet that you Instagramed a picture of your new man bun fitting your manicured big hobo beard. Go on, faecebook it with your laptop size phone!
