No stars.
A shallow satire with clumsy jokes and predictable criticisms. The dialogue relies on puns and goes for all the cheap shots with no original, or clever, insights. While the film is trying to emphasize the ridiculous nature of consumerism, it’s far less entertaining than the actual Onion news site. This film relies on overdone, sarcastic dialogue aware of its own ludicrousness, and as a result comes off snarky and hypercritical. South Park, the Simpsons and Adult Swim all use this kind of humor in a way that’s actually funny and original.
