Trivia:
The sheep in the movie are a threatened species known as Jacob Sheep. As you can see in the movie, this breed is a spotted multi-horned sheep. While they look strange, it is believed these sheep originate from Biblical times similar to what the movie depicts. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When they enter the palace there is a peacock in the middle of the sidewalk that Maya has to step around. When Oh walks in he is in the middle of the sidewalk with no sign of the peacock. moreQuotes:
[from trailer]Zed: You could be my right-hand man.
Oh: I've seen what you do with your right hand. No, thank you.

My husband and I just got back from watching this movie, and I thought it was hilarious.
I like movies that don't take themselves too seriously, and this is definitely a movie like that. It looked like everyone had fun making a silly film. And I know everyone in the theater was laughing throughout it.
There are parts that try to drag a joke out for a little too long, but overall, I thought the humor was simple, effective, and very well executed.
Michael Cera was definitely the shining star in this movie. He delivers awkward comedy SO well and just so believable and likable. He is a fantastic actor.
