I admit to laughing at all the ball busting--both literal and figurative--but I was struck by the unoriginality of this movie. It was the same idea as Anger Management--which was funnier--except that instead of having an anger problem, the main character suffers from an extreme lack of self confidence and machismo. It also borrowed ideas from Hitch and Fight Club. I'm a big fan of Napoleon Dynamite largely due to Jon Heder's ability to capitalize on his genuine dorkiness but those quirks that made him so funny in Napoleon Dynamite work against him in any other role.

This movie is very good. Jon Heder finally shows he can do something other than Napoleon Dynamite. Billy Bob Thornton does a great job as well. The movie is kinda slow in certain parts. But there are enough laughs throughout to highly recommend this comedy. Plus, you will find out how to get the girl!

Surprisingly funny! I can finally appreciate Jon Heder as an actor. Billy Bob Thornton is great, as ususal. Definitely worth your time, even if it is a little predictable!

An interesting diversion with some good sight gags and belly laughs. The story line is a little weak, however, and the ending is somehat ludicrous and/or ridiculous.

This movie was terrible. The language was not needed. They said GD 14 times. I like Jon Heder, but he should have re read the script.
