Terrible

I made it an hour in, and I can't finish it. Haven't laughed once. The jokes are brutally unfunny. Hey look, a bowling ball rolled into Woody Harrelson's crotch when he wasn't looking. Isn't that FUNNY?!? No, it's not.

Heard about this movie for 20 goddamn years, never got around to it, finally put it on tonight. Not even thinking it was going to be the greatest comedy in the world or anything, just expecting something decent, and it's not even that. Painfully unfunny.

I love some of the Farrelly brothers' other work from the same era: Dumb & Dumber is a classic (the first one), Something About Mary is great. Truly shocked at how bad this is.

Okay, but did you like it?

I'd hope you gave it another chance 3 years later, but if not it's no big deal. With that said though I think the film is really good though beyond the 1 hour. The comedy isn't perfect (I didn't laugh out Loud too many times myself) but I think it the writers did a good job with the character development of each main character throughout the story.
