Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in a very funny police/buddy comedy.
This is not the type of movie where I would expect any shaky cam, but... there was actually some unexpectedly over-the-top shaky cam car chases. They were completely unwatchable for me. However, these represented only small portions of an unotherwise unshaky flick - so by mutual agreement we decided to give this movie a shaky cam rating of C.
On a side note - I was very appreciative of the social conscience extro animations to the tune (at least some of time) of a labour movement song.
Some people can't stand the hand held camera, rapid cut style of filmmaking. We're going to review movies, new and old, based on the level of barfogenesis.

Star Trek 2009
I am a trekkie and I wanted so badly to be able to watch this movie. We went on opening night, had decent seats, had a babysitter - everything was perfect. Initially I hoped the shakiness would be temporary (or even limited to action scenes), but after enduring almost a half hour of nausea, I went home. On this basis, I would give the movie an F - however, since I was unable to watch the entire thing, I feel this may be unfair. Maybe there was blissful stability beyond the 1 hour mark? I will never know.
