unadulterated dross

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2005)

I really couldn't see the humour in any of this drivel driven movie. I went to see it because I had read a favourable review of it in a local newspaper. I was cringing during it in trepidation of what lewd tripe was coming next. Similar to when I saw 'Meet the Fockers', I felt as if I should be wearing a dirty raincoat during and leaving the 'movie' and I use the word 'movie' loosely. I must, however, admit to being rather fascinated throughout by Owen Wilson's nose which was the only thing which held my interest. It is a sort of miniature version of a Karl Malden conk. Anyway, conks aside, how anyone can describe this pap as 'Comedy of the Year' is beyond me. A couple of slapstick bits during the baseball game made me smile but that was it. All in all pure tripe. Save your money and don't waste your time on what I would label, 'Tripe of the Year'.
