The Foot Fist Way
Started & Finished: 1/13/09
I used to think 100 minutes was the ideal runtime for any good movie. Jody Hill has proven me wrong: 82 is the way to go. Quick and efficient, not unlike taekwondo, some might say. Even if your movie is just so-so, 82 minutes isn’t such a commitment that the average viewer will turn it off. No, it’s just right for those of us with a short attention span and a soft spot for white trash more genuinely portrayed than ever before.
In fact, The Foot Fist Way has inspired me to cut to the chase with this write-up and go start another movie. Go see it, have some laughs, and get on with your life. You’ve got 82 minutes to spare.
