Has anyone else seen this yet? It's too bad that it's not doing well in theaters - it was fantastic!
the biggest problem is that it's a huge parody of 1970's drive-in movie style, and I guess it's lost on the majority of movie-goers nowadays. If you can appreciate the parody humor, though, you'll find this movie incredibly funny.
It's a a complete double feature - there's a full-length horror flick called "Planet Terror" followed by a full-length "cheesy" action flick called "Death Proof". In between are made-up previews for "upcoming" movies that are absolutely hysterical.
I highly recommend going to see Grindhouse if you get a chance, especially if you enjoy somewhat cheesy movies. It was absolutely fantastic, and the humor was top-notch!
