Gut busting funny!

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2013)

The Red Band trailer sold me on this one but I worried that all the funniest bits were shown there--like a lot of comedies do. However, this movie kept me laughing the entire way through.
The film can offend a lot of viewers but unlike a lot of shock value-based comedies, this one didn't feel like it was going out of its way to offend but rather just used offensive stuff for the sake of actually being funny. The movie felt very self-aware to me and like it was just trying to use rude and crude humor to be funny and not act like a hack comedian and use it to rile up their audience.
The cast is fantastic and lead perfectly by Jason Sudiekis and features great cameos and scenes from actors like Nick Offerman, Ed Helms, Ken Marino, Thomas Lennon and Luis Guzman. Jennifer Aniston was also very funny and I don't usually find her all that amusing. The only downside in the cast was that I felt Emma Roberts couldn't hold her own with the rest of the actors.
While funny, the only thing I didn't care for with this one was the fact it felt too long and it started to drag for me towards the end. While the momentum the film sets up wasn't instantly killed, it did cause me to end the movie with significantly less laughs than when I started. But it still was a very enjoyable movie.
