Good, yes! $100 million? HOW?

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2008)

I enjoyed this movie. I got past the vulgar language, I found many of the jokes truly funny and there was some chemistry between the two characters. Nearly every day we see couples where we think, "Why is SHE with him?" or "How did he get HER?" Thus the relationship is somewhat plausible. I guess I'm wondering how this movie reached a "common denominators" lowest or otherwise, that allowed it to surpass a box office of $100 million. Obviously there is an audience for this type of "joe-blow" humor, F-bombs, drug use and such because similar films have been successful in the past. Comedies and Romantic comedies are judged by box office and word of mouth. I'm wondering how word of mouth spread to widely to affect not only a national but international box office sleeper hit
