Skip it and watch Broadcast News or Mary reruns

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2004)

I really hate it when I see a film and walk out of a theatre thinking of a hundred ways that the script (pretty much nonexistent in this case) could have been better.
There is a real difference between sketch comedy writing and comedy film narrative. The writer and director have no idea what they are doing. I wasn't expecting Broadcast News or His Girl Friday but this was so sophomoric I stopped finding this level of humor funny by the time I was a high school sophomore.
Will Farrell as a forty year old fraternity rat is not funny, but pathetic. The film is also anti-PC (while pretending to be PC) which can be a good thing but not like this.
People who liked this movie, you need to do a little film history research and learn about free form chaotic comedy and how to do it right, i.e. go see Life of Brian in the 25 year revival or Duck Soup or early Woody Allen. John Cleese is funnier reading the Gettysburg Address than Farrell is trying to be funny.
