The only reason I am rating this high is in spite of itself. This movie is so stuck up with their message and hammering in the Rome motifs, that when executed, is the funniest movie of the year. Great actors say bad lines, a plot that just falls into place, unexplained circumstances, and Shia LaBeouf being a riot in every scene he is in... Dare I say it, this is THE ROOM levels of hilariousness of a serious drama being a mess. So bad it's good, I recommend it if you're looking to have some fun in the movies for a flick that takes itself way too seriously.
