I would have voted, but I didn't see a "negative 5 stars" answer.
I think I lost 10 points on my IQ by watching it. My gf and I watched it all the way to the end, hoping for it to get better. Kinda hoping for a "Usual Suspects" type ending. Sorely disappointed was I. We looked at each other after the movie wondering why we watched the whole thing. Our brains were numb. I didn't try to take it seriously (as mentioned above); that would be like taking an Adam Sandler or Pauly Shore movie seriously.
I could make a better movie. My 5 year old could make a better, more inteligent movie. The only reason I liked "Lost in Translation" better than Napolean Dynamite is because it had boobs in it.
Luckily I am not in high school any more as constant quoting of lines from that movie would make me punch someone (and I'm not a violent person)...
