Not that I don't agree with you... but the cast was made up almost exclusively of comedians, not actors. The bulk of it was also improvised with a minimized script, which sometimes works well (Reno 911) and sometimes does not (well, Hell Baby). Coincidentally, I thought Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant were the most entertaining part of the cast and their work on Reno 911 is probably what helped them lead this one. Improv is definitely hit or miss.

I thought they were great. Love Key, he's one half of the show Key & Peele, very funny show btw. He was a big plus for me on the movie. Also the priests, funny as hell. I again love there other work from Reno 911. I recognised Robert Garant, but didn't realise until after that Tomas Lennon was also the one on Reno 911.
Overall I thought it was a great movie, especially for this type of Genre.

Geez, the bad acting was essential to the movie. It was part of the dynamic of the movie. The acting was intentionally bad. You missed the point if you didn't see that.
