Bag'o'laughs! .. and yet, leaves something to be desired

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2003)

Good movie.. made me laugh and say "O my god, don't DO that u focker!" (yup, literally), and made me laugh harder when he DID do it ;-). But then, it's no different than the other movies of this genre. What *is* nice is the acting, which is great all around!
Having said that, I think that the dude (stiller) was shown more as a looser than anything else, what with letting the cat out when told not to do so ever, the smokes, the fire, the septic tank imbroglio, the "you are a psycho, jack"... the list goes on and on. No wonder De Nero was p***ed at the dude, and father would be! The only explanation I can find is that the dude could not handle pressure at all, but then he's a nurse! he would be under pressure a lot of times, and it cant do to crack up like this!
good movie nonetheless. onward to MTP2!
