Into The Wild - BitTorrent
Considering this movie is about the stereotypical escapist exploits of a self-righteous twat, and has an Eddie Vedder soundtrack, I thought it would be pretty horrible. It wasn't though. Maybe because he died at the end.

I don't know, I think there was a time when Dane Cook was funny, was there? I can't seem to remember because he always seems to be in the most blindingly generic date movies. Actually, I saw his last HBO special and that was pretty much total shit, too. This was crap. Not worth the bandwidth.

Apparently I am not the only person who feels this way:

(From WIkipedia)
The film received very negative reviews from critics. As of October 23, 2007 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, only 3% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 96 reviews. On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 19 out of 100, based on 21 reviews, indicating "extreme dislike or disgust."
Roger Ebert gave the film 1 out of 4 stars, saying it was "potty-mouthed and brain-damaged" and "There is a scene in this movie where a penguin bites Dane Cook in the crotch. I'd like to find that penguin and buy it a drink."
Mark Kermode also threw barbs of a similar nature on his Friday afternoon film review spot on Radio 5 Live with Simon Mayo, condemning the film as a 'grisly, horrible, barfsome American comedy...with this really grotesquely loathsome guy', and naming it as his worst film of the year for 2007.
