Funnier than expected...

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2004)

Alright, we know it's Ben Stiller and we know it's Vince Vaughn. This looks like an Old School meets Heavyweights at first. However, I still recommend this movie to every comedy fan. The movie has the outright physical humor of people getting hit in the head and groin with rubber balls, but has the subtle humor as well. At first, Vaughn isn't very convincing as his character and seems like he's just there to deliver the punch-line. However, the quick one-liners by Vaughn matched up against the increasingly idiotic (but humorous) responses from Stiller combine for some memorable scenes. The actual plot is predictable, but this surprisingly does not take away from the comedy. The supporting cast may lack in acting skills, but builds a good foundation for the ongoing jokes in the movie. If you liked Old School, and the good Stiller comedies, then go see this one.
