    in a perfect world this movie is funny and salient and maybe even a little biting in its commentary, but also in a perfect world this movie does not exist because that better formatted version of this idea would not have been made by Dreamworks. it'd be Paul Verhoeven directing, probably. this movie feels like it wants to be Starship Troopers but without agreeing with it.
