Yes bad but I laughed my butt off!

I'm pretty picky, especially with comedies. Call me crazy but I thought this movie was funny and furthermore the actors did a good job within the genre of this film category....they made me laugh!

I actually found a new respect for JM. There is a lot (and I mean a lot) of vulgar humor here so it is not for the faint of heart. But if you can let your guard down...you may laugh your butt off too. I could not believe the grocery store scene. Yes it was wrong but is wrong always bad?

The story line is like any other stupid comedy, minimal. But the addition of a few character actors adds interest as well as flow. The direction was also spot on for a stupid comedy. This isn't Shakespeare after all. The direction keeps the scenes rolling along at a rapid pace and creates a silly genre all it's own.

One real problem with this film was Kam Heskin as Carrie. A really bad actress that couldn't quite seem to figure out what to do with herself.
