: Just got back from our second (and last; God bless Bob Weinstein) test screening. Went incredibly well. Let me break it down for you.
: This was a non-recruited recruited screening.

Actually, Kevin, a lot of us saw the recruiter's Miramax logo on her outfit, and reasoned that it was either SM2 or J&SBSB. We were... pleased... to learn the truth. heheheh.

: Tonight's screening was recruited as follows: "Would you like to see a test screening of a comedy coming out this summer?"

I have no idea what kind of moron would refuse such an offer.

: It played incredibly well yet again. One thing that's become abundantly clear is that folks really, really like these characters

Hell yeah. I was one of the film buffs who actually put a lot of detail into my review sheet. There were some very specific places I thought the film should be tightened up. But fundamentally it is sound. I have not yet (and will not, due to the NDA) post any details about the film on the web, but I think you'll be able to identify my sheet from the others, due to the actual useful detail and constructive criticism. :)

Exposition was outstanding. By far the best 30 minutes of any of your films.

Ferrell's character, while amusing, had a bit too much screen time. He's a riot, but he can't carry a part for that long, particularly in the presence of some of the other screen personalities there. Also, the end scene ran a little long. But generally these are nitpicks. If you make your final edits to this the way you did for the previous films in the series, I'm confident the final film will kick ass. Hell, it kicks ass already, it just has a few bog downs. Again, I am confident in you.

There were two other tighten-up spots that I won't go into because I won't post possible spoiler info. I think You Know What You Doing.

THANKS for the screening! I'll still pay to see the final product, it was that good!!!!
