Tremendously silly, sophomoric spoof of Jerry Bruckheimer films (Top Gun and Pearl Harbor especially) which also slings a few barbs at overinflated Hollywood liberals. The central conceit of the movie is that puppets on strings act just as well as the casts of bad Hollywood action movies. On the political front, it's easy to be distracted from the political 'satire' by all the sex, poop, and vomit jokes. (Loews Church Street, Harvard Square)
