Toss-up Between this and "Not Another Teen Movie"
Do you remember when spoofs and mindless comedies were actually funny? I am a very forgiving person when it comes to comedies, as long as you make me laugh, but this has got to be one of the worst flicks I've ever seen. This is one of those "Watch while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics or not at all" movies. I don't care how many extras they put on the DVD, unless they reshot about an hour of the film, and rewrote this horrible plot, I wouldn't touch and if somebody gave it to me, I would sell it immediately. After seeing this, I swore that I would never again head to the theater without knowing what is playing, since this was the only showing by the time we arrived.It wants to be a buddy comedy like "Dumb and Dumber" but falls way short. I will admit that the first half-hour was decent, as I laughed at quite a few scenes. But once that half-hour was up, the plot took a real turn for the worst. They made up some stupid alien plot and tried to pass it off as humor. The first half-hour was A-list stupid humor, but the remainder was all bad B-movie humor.The drive-thru Chinese restaurant scene was amusing and the transexual thug was frighteningly entertaining, even the tattoo scene and the Adidas suits were funny, but overall it got stale quick. I can remember sitting in a silent theater for about the last 30 to 40 minutes. Nobody wanted to laugh because it would have made them look bad. At least in "Dumb and Dumber", they had their own theories about stuff that was happening. In this movie, these guys play complete morons with two brain cells between them. They never have any worthwhile conversation, just plenty of gratituous scenes of half-naked hotties (which normally I would enjoy). It's sad because I enjoy these two guys in their other acting roles (American Pie and That 70's Show), but not in the least bit here. After 30 minutes, the jokes became so predictable and so contrived that it was painful. I actually heard people moan in discomfort as the flick progressed. Nobody got up and left because they figured it had to get better, which it didn't, and besides, after you pay [money] to see a movie, you're not walking out until the credits roll. The jokes aren't really overdone in this movie, just not funny after a while. Most of the second half needed to be put on life support and it just continued to drag painfully. You can only carry a movie based upon the characters' stupidity for so long, unless you're Jeff Bridges and Jim Carrey. The ending was so mindnumbingly (I know its now a word but that's how I feel) dumb, it was insulting. This movie reminded me of a plane crash, takeoff was smooth but the rest of the flight was turbulent and ended tragically.If you like juvenile, unoriginal, shameless, and downright insulting humor, then this is your movie. If you like something with originality and some thought invested, you're going to be sadly disappointed. And if you don't like this one, you'll hate "Not Another Teen Movie", which I strongly suggest you avoid like the Bubonic Plague.
