La comunidad/The Common Wealth

I could not help but have a sense of deja-vu during the whole time I was watching "La comunidad". I don't know if it is just because the movie plays with so many past films referents or because I have seen it before and I was not aware of it. I have mixed feelings about this movie. It is in a way what I expected, since I have seen previous De la Iglesia movies, so I certainly knew I was in for some extreme parody, but in a way it just seemed too exaggerated, too purposely comic. I don't, I can't say I that I did not like it completely, is just that it became too predictable. And predictability is always really bad for a joke.
