Farrelly Flop

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2006)

How funny would this movie have been if Jim Carey played the lead? Knoxville just didn't pull it off. Not at all. Katherine Heigl was incredible and saved some scenes from the cutting room floor but it was still boring most of the time. The idea for the movie is intriguing and the story could have been polished up a bit. Top that off with a real actor in the lead role and you've got a decent movie. If you have 90 minutes to kill, and maybe a 6-pack of cheap malt liquor, this is worth renting once it gets to the "Dollar Shelf". Believe me that's where it's heading. It was also hard to tell if Jimmy was actually retarded or not.
