Katy B.

We love Will Ferrell.....but this movie was so AWFUL!! We were all ready for a good comedy, but we did not laugh ONCE. A complete waste of time.

The hour & half weren't a complete waste of time as there were some funny moments. However, it is most definitely amateurish. Keep expectations in check & you might enjoy the movie.

I didn't hate this movie...It just is not the best will ferrell movie. I think maybe I just hold will to higher standards after his last few hits! The movie is Watchable and is funny at times!

Like most, I really enjoy Will Ferrell's comedic talents, but in short........... or maybe I should say "in shorts", which is how he was dressed in most of the film, it really fell "short" of the mark. As for Woody Harrelson, it was like Will called him and said..."Want'a walk through this film thing I'm doing and collect some dough?" What are they thinking when this kind of film actually makes it to the theaters? I would have preferred they take all the money invested in this project and add it to the "Banker's Bail Out!" That was also "a joke" that wasn't funny. And "Healthylaugh".....I read your review, and although I'm not a writer, I was a child actor and still have ties to the industry. You don't have to be a child of the 60's, which I was, to get the subtle comedy of this movie...because it's below subtle........... it's non-existent. Just my humble opinion.

Aside from being far too raunchy throughout the picture (I don't think a minute went by without a reference to a male/female anatomy or sex) you could have just copied the jokes from any one of a hundred comedy movies out there. The plot, pointless as it is, does little more than provide a weak framework for the continual aforementioned humor. Save yourself the time and skip this one. Will Ferrell has plenty of other, better, movies.
