I tolerated this movie... Though it is very forgetable.

Tom Green was the weakest link in this film... he's a poor actor. I'm sorry but he is Hollywood's "desperate cry for help" someone tell him it's going to be okay!

Okay, you can't go into this film looking at it like an ordinary film. You can't go into this film expecting to be enlightened or moved. It's not like a QT or Scorsese film, it's got its own style. If you like the style the movie is a great comedy, I enjoyed it. I thought it was a funny movie, like the part with the toothbrush... come on that was hilarious (in a sick sort of way). But if you try to judge this film like a big time hollywood movie, it's going to suck... I guarentee it.

I may be fashionable to say "Worst movie I ever saw" if the reviews are bad, but I won't do that. This isn't such a bad movie, but it's not great either...

I found Tom Green quite tollerable in this movie. He at least tried to act and sometimes he pulled it off! Freddy got Fingered was awfull, but this movie was quite entertaining. And Jason Lee was the typical sympathetic loser, which he pulls of in every movie.

If I had to describe the movie it would be "Kevin Smith Light".

That's how I'd describe it too. If you love Kevin Smith comedies, like I do, then you'll probably like this. The best thing about it was the cast, as well as Tom Green and the always-awesome Jason Lee, there's that gangster guy who's name I can never remember (the one from Get Shorty), Chris Penn who I always get a kick out of seeing in movies, being a huge Reservoir Dogs fan, and Tom Berenger from Platoon & Scrubs who's also always awesome. I only rented this casue Jason Lee is in it and I wanna try and watch every movie he's been in, because he's usually the best thing in Kevin Smith's movies, but I was shocked at how good the ensemble cast for this film was. This film's not gonna be bothering the Top 250 any time soon, but if you want a decent comedy to enjoy with a group of friends you could do a hell of a lot worse than this.

Tom Berenger from platoon and scrubs?
i assume you mean john mcginley who plays dr cox in scrubs, as he was in platoon also.

sorry if im offended at such an unimportant thing, but i love scrubs in an unnatural way.

Woops my mistake, must've misread the Platoon credits or something.

I wanna be Kyle... I new this guy in summer camp, musta been about 14 years old but he got 3 girls pregnant man.... Yeah, Kyle. Haha, Tom Green had so many good lines in this movie! I can't remember what he says but the part with him revving his engine in the middle of the night then yelling at Elaine and driving off and hitting their trashcan really cracked me up.

Thought it was pretty boring. The actors did what they was told to, not so much good material to handle..

..but i don't like Jason Lee

the part where they r tryin on ski masks for the liquer store robbery and the sales woman just anwsered jason lee's cotton question, tom green in his hilariously nerdy way-"we're going skiing"- soooo funny. green has soo many funny quotes in this movie "i've been thinking of a scheme envolving pizza delivery""those kids were gonna get drunk, maybe they would have drank mouthwash or sniffed model glue, but they choose beer, those are good honest kids". and jason lee's mustached home video is a howel

[–] mcnultyskate1 19 years ago

I think that this was a funny movie. i think what makes it funny and a good movie is the fact that there are so many clasic lines.

9 years later....BUMP.

On TV right now, forgot about this movie. Whatever happened to Tom Green? Oh, right, his one note joke schtick as the weird, crazy guy got stale after a couple years. Oh, well.

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go

Tom Green was the highlight of this movie for me. The plot was a mess and most of the jokes fell flat, but Green's character was worth watching this whole thing for.
