This is it - the lowest it gets.


There is nothing in this movie that isn't a complete disaster. CERTAINLY it's got one of the most appalling concepts for a movie ever...What I would give to have been a fly- or, rather, a coackroach on the wall of those executive meetings. I'd also love to sample some of those drugs that must have been going around the Geffen/MTV Offices. we've got to be talking about legendary, pharmeceutical-grade cocaine, here fellas - the stuff you just can't get anymore. Cocaine and LCD laced with insect repellant. I just can't imagine any sober-minded adults writing, approving, directing and then acting in this tasteless, disgusting GROSSLY unfunny venture - I can't remember who exactly said it, but some critic or another once said that there's nothing on earth worse than an unfunny comedy. I have to agree.

Nothing in this ungodly mess even makes sense. just one example: Joe's semi-retarded "artist" "friend" invites him to join his band named aptly named "s__t", completely un-heard. At the ensuing gig, Joe both sucks AND blows at drumming. And it's played as a big surprise. What was to be expected? what was the point of this entire sequence with the band?? what did i WATCH here?! am i losing my mind in remembering this? it couldn't possibly be what i think it was. NOTHING can be THAT bad, can it?

who thought this would be a profitable venture? they sunk 13 million and change on this f___ing train wreck. it's fabulous. I feel like i just got back from a frontal and rear lobotomy where'd you *beep*holes put my braaaaains?! whole hole holes nosebleeds uncontrollable nose bleeds

Soooooo you're saying I should see it then.

Nope. The movie "Slackers" is as low as it gets. This is Oscar worthy compared to that garbage.

Are we already to the reply point where we start listing comedies we personally don't like? That was quick. Honestly it comes off like you're saying 'I just saw a movie I didn't like 10 seconds ago and I'm gonna trash it the first chance I get even though nobody was talking about it.'
