G/d forbid the Fish Called Wanda fundamentalists do like the Halloween 1 absolutists, and go around denying any existence or relevance of any subsequent films.
That doesn't mean this is a great flick or that the inevitable comparisons to AFCW will not or should not happen. But who could hate a movie that features baby ostriches and pocket-sized kangaroos?? Everyone loves a movie that makes fun of marketing people at corporatist companies. Especially me. So yes, I ended up enjoying the portrayal of McZoo as well as the oh-so-ironic product placement sight gags by Absolute, Guiness, Lego, Sunkist, etc.
Fans of the Jamie Lee Smirk and her trademark scene-stealing cleavage gimmicks will find plenty to amuse themselves, too. They could have left out the bonding moment with the gorilla, though. That was entirely too weird.
6/10. A nice letterbox version might have made it a 7.
