Richard states that the Garand, Army, World War II, is German standard issue. That is wrong, the Garand was standard issue for the US Army. The next weapon he brings up is the M1 Carbine is standard issue for the US Army. This is incorrect, the M1 Carbine was a smaller more compact weapon that was issued to specialist troops, e.g. armor crewmen, and though it became popular was not standard issue for the US Army.

So Richard, I got a little joke for you, you might like this one. You too, Lewis. A Dude goes to the doctor. Doctor says: "Sir, you have to stop masturbating". The patient goes: "Why?" And the doctor goes: "because I'm trying to exam you".

It's an interesting film that's trying to be a dark comedy but it's not as dark as I would have expected, which made the laughs long in-between.
I've seen this type of comedy in which the victim befriends the captives because their life was not as put together as hoped. This one takes a slower dramatic pace.
Their were some pretty top notch actors in the film like Tim Robbins, John Hawkes and even Mos Def. It's interesting that Jennifer Aniston took on such a small picture, but maybe they thought her appearance would put people in seats(which I guess is true).
Thought the story was good but the pace of the movie just puts me to sleep (Maybe I actually missed the really fun parts while snoring). Don't kill your time with this one.
