good back-story, and good acting
Brilliant and touching
Best movie ever!
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Look, if you don't get the jokes then you don't have a sense of humor! Every scene has a joke and it's a laugh out loud comedy throughout. The acting isn't great but it's deliberate and adds immensely to the humor so if your all big on the acting quality then just loosen up for this film.Why this wasn't a box office hit and didn't make a killing in sales I will never know. If this film had had a larger budget it would have been seen by many as one of the comedies of the past 10 years. In short, if you want a laugh then watch this, it never gets old no matter how many times you watch it.
This movie was labeled "comedy", which makes me kind of wonder really, now that I have just watched it.Let me start off by saying that the movie has sort of an adequate story. It isn't overly compelling or super interesting, but it does have its moments, and it never really sinks into a boring phase. But the story is not what makes the movie good.The best part about this movie was all the quirky characters that are portrayed in the movie. They are what carries this movie and keeps it at a bearable level. There are so many crazy things and weird concepts to the characters, that they actually work well.As for the cast, well I think that was an adequate cast, and most actually did perform well enough in the roles they were given.Now, as for the movie being labeled as a comedy that strikes me odd, because I didn't even laugh once throughout the entire movie. I think I might have smiled once or twice, but that was about it.The movie wasn't an utter waste of time, but if you sit down to watch it with the intention of being entertained and made to laugh, then you will be sorely disappointed. I am not saying that you should stay clear of this movie, just know that it is not really a comedy in the traditional sense. If you like Danny Masterson or Christopher Masterson, then sit down to watch the movie, because they actually did well in this movie, despite having little to work with.
This movie suffers from two major problems, which are the core ingredient of every comedy: - bad actors - with the worst definitely being the stocky co-worker of the lead character and the assistant of the diva - horrible verbal and situational humor (a running gag are the barbecue-sauce smeared faces of the characters interacting)I don't care so much about the plot, which is typically lame for comedies. It's more about what happens in between. It's a movie for a really simple audience, with humor revolving around the following sub-topics: cheating, little people, homosexuality, anal sex, fetishes (e.g. for elderly people/nursing uniforms), buddy-ism, actor's diva-ism, slapstick and chicken wings. Out-of-place interludes (not the Family Guy ones) and boring flashbacks are also very common in this flick. Don't get me wrong, I like nudity, obscenity etc. in comedies, but it has to be put together in an intelligent manner. And some scenes really had potential here. For example, when the neighbors prepare a tape for the lead character to show him how anal sex can make a relationship work and the lead character bends down - looking for the batteries of the remote - and it looks at if neighbor is getting it on with the guy: This could have been a really good scene had it been placed in a more social situation, e.g. in an office environment shortly before a meeting. Instead, its just some out-of-place scene within a movie that seems made up of scenes like that. Also, don't be lured in by the in Malcolm-in-the-middle actor - Christopher Masterson. I know that he did a great job in the show, but that show also had a plot, many great actors and the right balance between verbal and situational humor. While Masterson does some OK acting in this movie, its just not enough to save this horrible movie. Do me a favor, don't make the same mistake I did - listen to the reviews and don't watch this movie.
I have no idea how this movie has a good rating. Everything required from a comedy to be good is non existent in this movie. The jokes are bad, the story is bad, the acting is bad and its completely unoriginal.Usually when watching comedies I don't particularly care for originality as long as the film is funny but this film is not. The way each scene connects and pieces together makes the story and script feel like it was written by someone who failed at primary school English and then dropped out.If you have a slight bit of intelligence you will find this movie extremely boring to watch. Each scene is more boring than the last and although you may chuckle at the lowest possible decibel at one point in the movie, that is about as good as it gets.Save yourself the time and boredom. Do not watch this movie
