Crude and juvenile; not a bad way to spend 2 hours

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2000)

I was surprised, there are some funny moment in this picture. The humour is crude, but man, it's soooo funny at times. Of course, not every joke will work, but the film as a whole is very enjoyable.
The story is simple, but I think, Woody Harrleson and Bill Murray make this picture work, they are excellent in their roles. Bill's deadpan humour is fantastic. Woody's character is plain fun as well. The opening sequence in excellent, terrific music, really captures the era nicely.
Vanessa Angel is eye candy, plain and simple, her character doesn't have the depth or is interesting but great to look at.
Randy Quaid is pretty good, he does his job very well.
The film does lose it's way in the last 30 minutes, a shame really, the characters seemed to die. It really needed focus towards the finale.
The film does have a message, but you'll need to think about that one when the credits roll
Technically, the film is shot very nicely.
An enjoyable picture, nice way to spend 2 hours on a Friday night with your friends.
