This is not the type of film that I normally watch. Two of my friends insisted that they thought it would be stupid but that it really was funny and that I should watch it. I watched it. It was not funny. At all. It was really bad. I mean really bad. I don't think it is even worth mentioning that both the editing and cinematography were at times startlingly bad, or that the plot line (which is full of holes) was completely predictable and stupid. These things we would of course expect. The so called humor is also bad. Virtually every joke in this film is recycled. I've seen them all used (better) before. Also, the writing for this movie is soooo bad. Laughably so. (Yes, I did laugh a few times during this, but it was only when I couldn't believe just how bad it was). The writer must think very lowly of his audience. Not only are his characters completely implausible, saying and doing stupid things, but at times the film is completely irrational.
