Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
hyped garbage
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I am not going to waste your time trying to convince you that this movie is actually good. I know that nothing I say could change your mind. This movie divides everyone. I laughed so hard watching this. Maybe you need to remember that this movie is intentional. Or don't and miss out. I don't care. I liked it
Actually, I'm deeply sad because I've never seen Tom's shows until few months ago. My life could've been way better if I saw any of his shows as a kid. This movie has pretty much the essence of his series, with a difference that he acts here. He gives approval to the healthy dose of insanity which every person should express in order not to be the part of uniformed majority and keep the sparkle of unique "self". His work is basically a course of how to repair the old ego, and boost it as it's the new one. Another thing that I really like about his work is that he NEVER suggested drugs, prostitution, murder, violence, cigarettes or alcohol in his series or movie. For a moment I was worried about my approval of Tom's work because I saw many reviews of people saying how Tom's work is "unethical" and "disgrace". After you enter into their profiles you can see where they rate high some movies which scream with violence and vices and there you can see how they're just hypocritical conformists. I can freely say that Tom Green is a guru of fun life
Tom Green doesn't want you to think that this movie is smart. Quite the contrary. However, the complete inanity and absurdity in this movie is not enough to counter the abundance of terrible jokes. To its credit, it manages to stay entertaining throughout, despite being somewhat unbearable at points. The meta humor is quickly unveiled in a few (very few) brilliant scenes. But at the end of the day, they're nothing. They mean nothing and have no substance or message to give. Tom Green makes it clear that is the point.
I genuinely believe that if this movie had better dialogue, better acting, and a more grounded script, it could have been one of the most groundbreaking comedies of the decade. While it has a reputation as one of the worst movies ever made, I've seen way worse. At its core, this movie is all about Gordy, an immature man- child who wants to prove to his father that he is a man. This simple and age-old setup is turned upside down and told through the veil of a sadistic anti-comedy. He goes to absurd, even grotesque lengths to prove that he is independent and self-sufficient. Gordy masturbates a horse and an elephant to prove to himself and his father that he has "grasped manhood". As he grabs the horse's penis, he shouts "Look at me, Daddy! I'm a farmer, Daddy" indicating he wants to prove his independence to his father, the farmer symbolizing a hard worker that produces something valuable to society. The fact that he makes the elephant ejaculate all over his father and right after that his father accepts him shows that he has succeeded.If you couldn't tell from that last paragraph, the film is blatantly offensive, and if it offends you or grosses you out, then it has done its job. Its something of a satire on the increasingly gratuitous and stupid R-rated sex comedies and dumb teen comedies of the 90s. Some of the random celebrity cameos are just there to bring the movie some credibility, just like the movies its making fun of, but also seem to be poking fun at them (like Shaq's cameo). The sheer ridiculousness of everything that happens is itself pretty entertaining and funny. Some people find this movie absolutely hilarious, and I'll admit I'm one of those people.Don't get me wrong, this movie is FAR from a masterpiece. The acting is mostly pretty bad, the story drags at points, and all the dialogue sounds like it was written my Tom Green himself. If the movie was more realistic, Gordy would have been fired twice and arrested at least three times. There are a lot of jokes in the movie that Tom Green has admitted are just inside jokes between him and his friends. That's great for you and your friends, but the general movie going audience won't get half your references. In my humble opinion, this movie had a lot of potential, and in some ways Tom Green may be some kind of comedic genius, but the film's sloppy execution holds it back from being anything more than a fun novelty movie for me to troll my unsuspecting friends with on movie night.
