Mostly unfunny.

Rating: 4/10 (16 September 2001)

Many people found this movie, the second outing from the Farrelly brothers, to be hilarious, but I thought the funny moments were few and far between. Most of the time, this is a depressingly UNfunny, occasionally tasteless farce, that follows, and supposedly spoofs, the "Rocky" and the road-movie formulas, and has references to other recent movies (like the "Indecent Proposal", in one inspired little bit). As for the "offensive" factor, it's pretty low, despite its being "hyped-up"; the only really disturbing scene is the aftermath of a dreaded sexual encounter. Woody Harelson does give a decent and believable performance, though. (*1/2)
