Silly, stupid and full of toilet humor, but funny overall

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2008)

This struck me as a good film to watch with teen-aged cousins or other younger relatives. This is not nearly as funny, intelligent or well-timed as Mr. Pegg's other films, but it has enough redeeming qualities to be worth watching.
I found the ending to be just realistic enough to be enjoyable. The protagonist undergoes a transformation, but not so much of one as to seem hackneyed (I'm looking at YOU, Bell, Book and Candle!).
The shining star of this movie is Mr. Azaria's performance. He manages to portray a hateful character while still being an absolute delight to watch.
