Just another gross-out R-rated "comedy"

Rating: 2/10 (3 September 2009)

I was hesitant to see this movie, because most reviews were reporting on its "gross out" factor. However, I've seen other movies reported to be similar, and still managed to find them funny. This movie just wasn't that funny to me, and the chubby lead character, was simply disgusting on many fronts. I sincerely hope this movie was very distant from the reality of high school kids today, or this country is lost! The funniest characters in the movie, the cops, were basically rip offs of Reno 911 characters. Once again, the general praise of this movie by the critics misled me. I was similarly fooled by the praise of Napolean Dynamite. I need to find a movie critic who couldn't stand either of these films; then I might be able to use them as a reasonable indicator of a movie I might like. I wish movie ratings could be sorted according to the age of the viewer. I suspect that as the viewer age increases, the rating of movies like this goes down.
