Time wasted and pain suffered...stear clear...

I haven't seen the first Travolta/Elmore Leonard joint - Get Shorty - and I've heard that's pretty entertaining. This one wasn't. This one was self-aware from the get go, telling jokes about how bad sequels are in the very first scene, pointing out that no PG-13 movie can say the F-word more than once, saying it once, and then getting their PG-13 rating. And then it goes downhill from there. The acting is bland, the stereotype characters are over the top and one-dimensional. I saw the 'bout two-hour long film in like an hour fifteen because I couldn't take the musical numbers or the singing-dancing scenes. It's drivvel...do not waste your time...I took one for the team here...
