Ben Stein Dynamite?

Expelled is playing in Jamestown. Apparently we are considered fertile ground--small and rural. I wasn't even aware it was here. I found out because my daughter called me and asked if she could go to a movie. I asked which one and she said Expelled. I refrained from yelling "why the hell would you want to see that?" and instead asked if she knew what it was. She didn't. Her friend had just asked her. When she found out it was a documentary, she wasn't interested, and my summary of it made her even less interested.

I was wondering why her friend had wanted to go. It didn't sound like it was something she would be interested in. I asked my daughter. Apparently her friend thought that maybe it was something like Napoleon Dynamite, based on the poster. That made me wonder how many of the people seeing the show were duped 13 year old girls, expecting maybe a show with an idiot principal (I guess that's what Ben Stein looked like on the poster). I guess the title does kind of sound like a teen comedy. Name recognition for the movie must not be too high in the general public.

Now I have a dilemma. Do I go, so I can say I'm informed and have seen it and know exactly what is in it when I criticize it? To do so I have to waste a couple of hours of my life and give money to fools. I could wait for the video--they still get some money, but not as much. I'll sleep on it for awhile.
