I take it I'm the only one who sees the whole F&F series as a ~~~~ing hilarious comedy.
I love watching F&F because it's so ~~~~ing funny, the acting and dialouge is so wonderfully bad and tacky, the cars are fun and the stunts are so ridiculous, I mean, if you're looking for a laugh, go no further than Fast & The Furious.
Maybe it's just me, but all my friends and I love the F&F series because it's so funny, and it's downright impossible to take Paul Walker seriously, in anything, because he always uses that same 'wanna-be-serious' tone of voice, like how Charlie Sheen talks in Hot Shots part I and II.
I'd see the movie once it's on DVD or just say ~~~~ the MPAA and download it. I'm sure the drifting was top notch, and the rest of the movie is just an comedic interlude between drifting sequences. But I sure as hell wouldn't spend $9+ going to the theater to see it, and I definitely wouldn't use it as a date movie unless your girl is hardcore into cars.
In summary: Good for a laugh, not to be taken seriously, and not worth the price of admission.
