Now that movie didn't just blow, it blew goats.....crappy, CGI animated goats. (Note to Universal....finish the f**king script before you start filming the movie.) I saw the film with a bunch of 20-something acquaintances whose taste in movies is pretty low-brow, and even they knew it was a furry piece of lycanthropic doody.. A great cast, pissed away. Did the movie make any money? It lurked around the theaters like a derelict in a raincoat for a few weeks, meaning it must have generated some sort of dough....
