Lack of good storyline.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

As indicated, this movie won't be for everyone; that said, few movies are, particularly in the realm of comedy.In any case, for those of us who enjoy Broken Lizard's other films, this movie is sure to impress. Indeed, it has all their hallmarks: amusing, witty, even absurd dialogue; hilarious ensemble scenes; wonderful character/cameo performances; and an incredibly funny blooper reel during the end credits.And, as others have indicated, Michael Clark Duncan's performance is classic -- just awesome. And to be sure, the two female leads are both great, as well (and quite easy on the eye, it must be said ;).At any rate, as the title of this review indicates, I have no doubt that some people will criticize this film; but for me, it's classic Broken Lizard, and I think that's a great thing! Peace.

This was just another Club Dredd Disappointment....The only two movies that were completely funny, and happened to go to the theaters, was Super Troopers and Beerfest. I will admit the fact that it had some funny parts, because I'm pretty much open to any type of humor. Although, there wasn't enough consistentcy of comedy and flat out humor to keep me amused. If anybody thinks that Broken Lizard has made funnier movies than those two I'm willing to argue, and not only that, beat that hell out of you for thinking there are funnier movies made by the same production...does anybody have the balls to contradict about it? Im waiting...... Because you might as well admit, nothing is funnier than Beerfest and Super Troopers. I stand by my decision. You Broken Lizard Spanks!!!!

I've seen my fair share of movies and I RARELY hate them. I absolutely love Broken Lizard. Super Troopers, like 90% of all people in their 20's, is one of my favorite movies. Beerfest was awesome too. I bought this movie on the sheer fact, that it was a broken lizard movie. 90 painful minutes later, I returned this crap to the store. The only time I laughed was at the credits when they were doing bloopers. It had no plot, no comedy, and terrible acting. I'm not saying these fellas need to be British Victorian actors or anything, but this movie was terrible. And NO....I'm not comparing this to super troopers, like everyone does with Broken Lizard movies. I was sincerely, just flat out disappointed by this. FYI, I've never reviewed a movie online before. So this thing really hit me hard with it's crappiness........plus, I'm really bored at work.

The Slammin' Salmon is actually a pretty funny movie with reasonable replay value. If you like Broken Lizard (Club Dread excluded), you'll enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. I must admit that Michael Clarke Duncan bumped the movie up to a 7 from a 6. He played his role perfectly and delivered one of the funniest lines ever written. The story is simple with minor yet major twists, but enjoyable nonetheless. There are lots of great moments and "punch-lines". If you liked Waiting (the best restaurant comedy of this generation) but cried tears of disappointment when you saw Still Waiting (the poorly written and barely funny sequel), you will appreciate the strong effort Broken Lizard put into this one.
