Completely forgettable nonsense

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2005)

I was surprised to find so many negative comments about this movie. I like to surf IMDb, and usually find nothing but good comments about movies that I feel were even worse than this one. This is definitely not the worst movie I have ever seen, but given all the hype surrounding this movie, I have never been so disappointed about anything. The main character was likable, I could relate to him. That lasted about 10 minutes. Then his "friends" from work entered the scene. Who the hell were these losers? The part with the poker game was horrid. It reminded me of Porky's (the worst movie I have ever seen, by the way). The scene with him lying about his sexual experiences was utterly concocted nonsense of concocted nonsense that was not even remotely funny. I would have walked out (something I have only done 4 times before: Star Wars, Porky's, Police Academy, and Austin Powers, if you are interested), but my wife (who thinks this movie is great) wouldn't leave, and she was my ride home. I usually don't take her too seriously on movie issues because she thinks "Malibu's Most Wanted" is wonderful. Since it has been several months since I saw this movie, I can not even remember any more of this utterly forgettable movie. I did give the movie a 2 since the main actor is a funny man (I have seen him before), and my wife will make me buy this dud for her on DVD ( so I better get used to it).
