This is the best comedy that I have seen in a very long time. The plot leading to unexpected events makes the movie very funny. The only downside is once you've seen the movie and know the events that lead to finding their friend its not as funny as the first time. The unexpectedness is what makes the movie so great.
Most comedies get funnier the more times you watch them, this is just the opposite, but still worth buying.
What's great about it: Funny, great plot
What's not so great: Entertaining to rewatch, although not as funny as the first time

The game play is absolutely amazing and very realistic, much better than MLB 08. The only complaint I have is that the game is way too difficult. There are 5 different game play settings and I always play on level 2 (Veteran). Even on such a low level you have to be absolutely error free in all aspects of the game, hitting, fielding, pitching, base running. With pitching it is very easy to walk someone and just about every time you hang a pitch anywhere in the strike zone the computer hits a homerun. When you are batting unless you time the pitch just right and have solid contact you will ground out or hit it right at someone. The difficulty of the game takes the fun out of hit. At least with MLB 08 I was able to win more than half my games.
What's great about it: Great Graphics and Realistic Game Play
What's not so great: To Difficult to play. You must be error free to win a game even on easy setting
