7/10
A Guilty Pleasure -- but a pleasure nonetheless!
7 June 2005
I gave this movie a 7 because it made me laugh, albeit not without a certain amount of guilt. In many ways it was formulaic and predictable, but the cast carried it off so well that you didn't mind. The film never took itself too seriously or tried too hard to impress -- that is always a plus. I find it amazing that Tom Green and Jason Lee have not paired up more than this one time -- the comic chemistry between them is a rare thing. This is the only film I've seen directed by "Kids in the Hall" alumnus Bruce McCulloch, and all I can say is that we should expect great things from this very funny man. Lots of belly laughs, and we're not talking about the writing, particularly. The actors pull this off beautifully, and in addition to Green and Lee, Dennis Farina, Leslie Mann, and "Scrubs" superstar John C. McGinley all make significant and hilarious contributions. A guilty pleasure, but above all a pleasure.
