the film doesnt bear repeated watching in the way the series does, or the original pilot, or specials. too much of it is rehashed from old episodes or spent on introducing characters we already know. if it turns more people onto the show or makes money for the people who created it, thats great. to me, sonny was cyrus and replacing trinity sucked too. they do too much sex stuff and the music is annoying too (except for rush). one of my favorite things about the show is how music is never a main part of it. thats why it has such broad appeal, metalheads, stoners, rap fans etc. can all watch it without hearing music they hate at length.
the movie has some great scenes, dont get me wrong. the parking meter thing, or the quarters falling out of the trunk immediately spring to mind. however, take out the character introductions and rehashed sections of previous shows and theres really only an episodes worth of great original material left. thus concludes my monthly rant on the subject.
