It seems like these critics tried to judge it next to Lawrence in Arabia on account of its cast. If you don't take it seriously, it will give you some good laughs, its basically an above average episode of Saturday Night Live. I also saw The Onion movie recently too, its not bad if you don't take it seriously. The Onion News Network TV show is much better though. Their 'Porkin' Across America' series is an absolute classic.

I liked The Onion Movie and even Darwin Awards better than Movie 43... to me it felt less like celebs making their own comedy skit and more like celebs bound by a promise they made to do this movie. I think two of the shorts got a laugh out of me, the wrap-around story was boring as hell, and I just expected more from everybody involved. Except Halle Berry, I was surprised by how far she went for her skit.
