Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

one of my absolute favorites!

Film Perfection

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The story is just another common one about a person struggle to get his needs and dreams and doing everything he could but to no avail. The little things are somewhat hilarious, despite very predictable. The bigger picture of the story however, doesn't really bind well between its pieces. They all seem like a forcefully strewn montage of pieces of uncorrelated stories. The focus characters are way too stretched with having all the other supporting roles, yet they are not developed well enough to see the real essence of the character's core characteristics. One thing good though, is the presence of the twists, although again as predictable as they are. The acting is just another average. Jason Lee doesn't act his face well, it seemed like he's trying to hard with other aspects of his act but forgot about facial expressions. So did happen in the case of Tom Green, but luckily the way Tom speaks out his dialog is quite funny already. Leslie Mann is also did an average performance and quite not been able to be funny herself.

Normally I wouldn't have bothered, but I read some of the reviews here that said not to worry, it was mindless, but very funny, even hilarious. So I watched it.I didn't laugh once.I will admit that Tom Green is not my cup of tea. Even though he and I are fellow native Ontarioans. That kind of gutter slapstick I just don't find funny at all. Like fart jokes. But the whole movie was like that; certainly not the worst I've seen, not as bad as Freddy Got Fingered, anyway. But no, not funny.So, I tried to like it, but sadly, I got nothing out of it. Just be warned if you're considering watching this and you haven't seen it before. Unless you really like Tom Green, you will waste your time.

This film was conceived to be stupid and it made it. It is... stupid! I don't mean by this it hasn't its moments of fun, it certainly does, but if we analyze them they are just... stupid humor! The entire film is based in this concept which is by the way the Tom Green's method to do comedy. He looks stupid, he behaves stupid, so he does stupid humor being basically...stupid! The film has a lot of stars, very well known actors with nice careers; all of them subjugated to the stupid methods of Tom Green to do comedy. As told I think the movie has a few funny scenes which made me laugh, but they aren't enough to compensate the rest which is pure stupidity! I score it 3/10 because of the few funny jokes.

First off, this movie SHOULD have been great. Bruce McCulloch directing? Yeah! And the cast is comedy gold: Jason Lee, Tom Green, Leslie Mann, Dennis Farina, John C. McGinley, Megan Mullally... I mean, even the women are funny! The only thing that's really lacking is, sadly, the script.Everyone is funny, they just don't have enough to work with. The characters are 2D, the plot paper thin, and everything is just too convenient. Now I didn't expect anything weighty or life changing. Just something worth caring about.Don't get me wrong, the movie IS funny. Tom Green is great, providing some hilarious moments (Drinking milk and then suddenly pouring lemon juice in his mouth, for instance.) For the most part though, the humor relies entirely on his performance, not the strength of the writing. Also, Jason Lee is cast here as the Straight, the regular guy just trying to get his life in order. Personally, I much prefer him as the goofy sidekick type (i.e. Tom Green).All in all, this makes for a palatable little episodic comedy. But there's not enough to sink your teeth into. You can't get involved enough to really let go and laugh.
