exceeded expectations

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2006)

well i walked into this movie saying things like "this is gonna be worse than Napolean Dynamite" and "why am i going to see this?" but my friends persisted i go. so i went. about 2 minutes into the movie i was cracking up. there was barely a second in this movie where i wasn't laughing. most of the humor was a little stupid, you know, regular jack black, childish stuff. but there were also a few scenes (no matter how brief) that just... surprised you, i guess. this movie was at best mediocre. but i had such low expectations of it that when i walked out of the theater i was singing its praises from the roof tops and quoting my favorite lines from it. when it came down to it this movie is great, and i really recommend that everyone goes to see it, even if you aren't into that kind of humor.
