Was this supposed to be funny?


Because it wasn't. At all. And Billy Bob is still an obnoxious actor.

It is pretty funny at points.

It was amusing throughout but I only chuckled a few times. All the cussing did throw me off some. Usually I wouldn’t care, but they went all out with the language!

It was funny and worth the watch, but I thought it would’ve been better.

Meh, it wasn't that funny.

It's supposed to be polarizing. I spent many years in retail and let's just say that leaves you cynical in a lot of ways during the Holiday Season. I'll always laugh when Willie is fucking in the mall dressing room. "You won't be able to shit right for a week."🤣

That's deep after 4 years. 🍒​
And now I know that blue1981 was allegedly in retail, yessas!

Its a dumb and not funny movie.

I would say that was the intention, yes.

And for me at least it succeeds spectacularly. Easily in my top 5 comedy films of all time.
