Not great, but funny enough if you're not expecting the world

A lot of jokes do fall flat, but some really funny dialogue is through, & all the actors had good comedic timing....i thought it was much better than any of those Epic/Date movie.

"i thought it was much better than any of those Epic/Date movie"

I'm sorry to say, but that's like saying a pile of dog poop is better than a puddle of vomit.

really!! this movie is just one of the worst I ever seen before!!! incredible awfull. I can do something better with a webcam. No one gag was funny!!! NO ONE!!...awesome when you thinks that you have seen the worst movie of the history someone appear to probe the opposite...

Desi Lydic's scenes made my day. Kenan wasn't as SNL bad as i was expecting (better: he was, but only in a few scenes, while in others he surprised me). The ending pretty much sucks, but i found the movie interesting, it's like there's this good humour floating over the Wayans' scary movie gross and special needs humour in the background.

I think Norm MacDonald is the worst! I can't stand him. I think he's unfunny. Not just "not funny" but actually takes something that IS funny and makes it NOT funny! That is how annoying and diststeful I find Norm MacDonald.

If Norm MacDonald were in this movie, it would be an improvement.

The Constitution is not the People's "permission slip". It is our Government's "permission slip".

Wow, I'm pretty sure you just "don't get it" because Norm is a genius. Do yourself a favor and watch the Bob Saget Roast on Comedy Central. If you get the brilliance of what he did there (playing to the back of the room) then you'll know if you should be sitting with the comics or in the audience buying overpriced drinks and heckling.

I didn't think it was that bad, it was at least fun. It's by no means a good film at all, but it has it's moments and does produce a few good laughs.

Great subject head!

Exactly what this review seems to get at --->

That it's puerile, yes, but is actually rooted in character, and cast with actors who display good comic timing.

I thought it was okay. Not something I'd bother watching a second time, but not a complete waste of time. It was much better than Epic/Date movie and all of the "Scary Movie" films. It was still stupid and silly, but not that bad compared to those others... and it was worlds and worlds better than "Meet The Spartans" LOL.

Didn't hurt to have Diora Baird prancing around half naked for the whole movie showing off her incredible body.

Amen brother..AMEN!!!

She looked SO good in that Indian girl costume...and her lickable mid-section showed off throughout the movie....still...

the OP's "funny enough if you're not expecting the world" doesn't work, as my expectations were "Date Movie/Epic Movie" lowwwww...and despite a decent setup in the beginning that looked like any other low-budget horror movie (which could've worked in its favor)...it quickly DOWN hill WAAYYYYYYY FAST!

Would have to agree.

Watching this it was almost as if it KNEW what it was, it was like it KNEW it was bad, but just went along with it anyway.

I got a few laughs out of it, and I don't think it was so much the jokes themselves but at the actors delivery and the sheer absurdity of it all.

You could tell the actors had fun making it and didn't take it seriously, which actually made it enjoyable, especially as it was more like a 'background movie'.

Certainly not the worst of these kinda films to come out, not by a LONG shot.
