Saw this movie tonight with my friends, we went seeking humor. And it was delivered. Not sure if the books were this cheesy, but I found it hilarious. Acting was decent for what it was, it wasn't that the acting was so bad it was cheesy (like AVP 2) but the story itself I found incredibly cheesy. I swear there were more stare downs in this movie than in a season of Dragonball Z. I just didn't like it because I thought the plot and what not was stupid. I'm sure people who liked the books would probably like it.
