Great movie! if you have seen the cartoon or not.

i picked up the Cartoon box set a couple weeks ago when i realized one of the characters was suppose to be Freddy mercury which i thought was funny enough to make me buy it without knowing really what it was and when i watch the cartoon it was funnier then i could have imagined. it was hilarious. just so random.

now when yesterday i was out again and i saw this live action movie adaption and i laughed just at the thought of it. i had to get it. and it was just as good. It has a lot of scenes from the cartoon with little changes in them to keep them fresh for the movie and all the characters are acted out very well. It also added a lot of new stuff and new twists.

The best part of the movie tho, is that its like Cromartie high school and not just an interpretation of it by some artsy directer, its really just like the cartoon. If you're someone who needs a solid plot or any Plot in your movies to be entertained..pass on this. but if you want something that will make you laugh until your head explodes, pick this up.

they have both the cartoon and the movie at best buy. (anime section and comedy section)
