a spoof of action films

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2008)

I hafta disagree with yankeesrock and the like. If one is earnest about the film then it might come as a disappointment; but if one views it for what it is, i.e. a spoof of action films taken from a stoner angle, then the movie works terrifically well. The satire was much edgier than in other Apatow films, as it blended two entirely different genres. Perhaps you guys just weren't stoned enough when you watched it..
The one thing that did bother me about the film was the same thing that bothers me about most action films; that is, the bad guys can never shoot...they're always shooting off rounds at their targets and never hit anything! That always makes them look like pussies. Pretty cornball stuff, but since it's a stoner comedy, then what the hell.
