Enjoyable Underrated Slapstick Comedy

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2015)

If you are a fan of South Park and Slapstick Comedies, you'll enjoy this movie. It makes for perfect viewing material for a night when you are looking for a simple comedy to watch if your friends. Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren't the greatest actors, but they share enough chemistry with each other that they make the film work. They bring their trademark raunchy humor that made South Park famous combined with the slapstick comedy of Zuckerman's comedies. Not all of the jokes work, but the majority of them do. As sophomoric as the humor is, the film actually is a pretty clever satire on sports culture. It's not as clever as Parker and Stone's other works, but it should be noted that they didn't director or write this film and remains their only work to date in which they haven't. With that said, the satirical element works fine.
If you are expecting something as brilliant and witty as South Park or Team America, you will be disappointed. But, if you are a fan of the duo's humor and other slapstick comedies, this is certainly worth a look.
