Freaking Hilarious, 7 January 2005
10/10
Author: cobitt from NY, NY

I started watching this movie with some college buddies because we were bored and it had such a stupid name. An hour later I was sorry that I had to leave and go to class. This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in the past 5 years. I'm not sure if it's funny on purpose, like the writer/director is some sort of genius, or that it just accidentally ended up this way (I tend to believe the latter). I think that the reason that I find it so hilarious is that it seems completely accidental. It's not like the Naked Gun or Scary Movie movies where everything is supposed to be a joke and you laugh at one out of ten of them. It's really trying to be serious (I think), and the horrible plot, acting, and dialog come off as good as the best written Three Stoodges (with some but much less slapstick). I know everyone won't like this. You definitely must have a good/twisted sense of humor and the ability to put up with stupidity (although the cynic can also have fun watching and pointing out all the various plot holes, inconsistencies, and various actions by characters that make absolutely no sense), but at least 1/2 of the people I've shown it to sense were laughing hysterically at various parts and later laughing more as they imitated some of the lines. I just think everyone should watch this once.
