I often receive phone calls from friends who are standing outside multiplexes trying to decide which movie to see. They have
eliminated the ones they've already seen and the ones that don't have a start time that fits their schedule, and now they're left with two or three options from which they'd like me to help them choose. "Cellular" is a good movie for that situation. Should you buy tickets in advance for "Cellular"? No. Should you plan your schedule around "Cellular"? Heavens no. But if you've seen everything else, and if you're standing outside the theater at 7:10 and there's a showing of "Cellular" at 7:20, then by all means, go ahead and see "Cellular." It's implausible, every minute of it, and often outrageously stupid. (Good thing there's a dirt road leading to a cell-phone store at the VERY MINUTE he needs a charger!) But golly, it's kinda fun sometimes, and a few parts are funny on purpose. (Many other parts are funny accidentally.)
