It's crude, hilarious and not very PC! But why the second half?

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2008)

If you're a guy, this movie is like that best friend you had during your teen school years; he's crude, hilarious and not very PC. Get yourself a tub of popcorn, turn off your brain and just soak it up. Do yourself a favour though... turn it off when it hits half way! Like a crazy alcohol endued night, this movie builds itself up fast and unrelenting. It has a laugh a minute which may not be the most intellectually challenging, but then again who cares! Then, all of a sudden, a woman comes in between you and your best pal, the movie! Somewhere half way the film flattens out and takes a fast noise dive. The boys in Hollywood always feel compelled to introduce a love element into every story and sometimes it just don't fit. The jokes stop and the sentimental mush begins. Not that I'm anti-romantic or anything... the love story is just that bad! ...and the movie was doing so well. Don't be conned either by the promise of revelations to be revealed (how he got his super powers and immortality, bla, bla, bla...). Its a lose thread, desperately dangling for you to take a grip, designed only to keep you until an unsatisfying end. Indeed you'd be better off not knowing the explanation; the mangled cringe-worthy excuse for a plot.
-LEAVE!!!-
...leave while you were still enjoying the movie... leave just at the point where the first revelation (you'll know it when it comes) is revealed. Go home with a glowing feeling in your belly from the barrels of laughs, rather then it turning into a desire to barf!
