Yup, I saw it. It is part discussion of quantum theory, part self-help film, and part bad comedy. I was interested in seeing it to see how they attempted to present their ideas visually. I think they were pretty creative with that but overall the film is fairly lousy. I suppose as a jumping off point for a discussion of quantum theory it's ok...but it becomes a bit too self-help babble for me. There's an extended wedding sequence at the heart of the film that the filmmakers seemed pretty intoxicated with but I found pretty damn annoying. I won't tell you not to see it but I don't think you've missed much if you don't.
On the Star Wars film, I laughed pretty hard watching it with all the swipes at the Bush administration it took. When asked after watching it what I thought I said "I think it should have been called Star Wars: Fahrenheit 911, The Temperature At Which Freedom Burns" causing quite a bit of laughter from the people exiting the theatre around me.
