What Is Wrong With You People?


In the past two days I have seen two movies that got a IMDB rating of under 6 and this one did even worse. The first movie I saw was trapped with kevin bacon (look it up). This was a very agood movie and so was Stealing Harvard. I have never liked Tom Green and I am a huge fan of Jason L. This movie provides a good deal of laughs as well as a pretty good (and for the most part) original story line./ If you havn't seen it don't listen to everyone one else this movie is GOOD.
If you stated that you didn't like it Please explain why
Thanks.

Well, first off the movie was the least funny movie ever, secondly Tom Green is dumb and the joke of people dressing up as women wasn't funny any of the 3 times they used it. Not to mention the out takes ( which sometimes save a movie due to an actors improv and ability to be unpredictable) were not funny at all. Seriously Tom Green loves himself and thinks that he is a riot , but once again he sucked it up in this movie. Sadly Jason Lee was on a sinking ship and was unable to add ANYTHING funny. I'll give you that the story line was semi-orginal and had potential to be funny, but once it wasn't funny. I work at a movie theater and I've seen some awful movies but none so far have been as unfunny as this one. The only time that I laughed during whole movie was when the person sitting next to me farted. Seriously if you liked this movie explain why.

And I agree that Tom Green sucks( if I didn't get that across).

This movie was a stroke of genius. I can't believe you couldn't see that. The originality is what made it funny. It's unpredictable, hits close to home, and has people kicking the *beep* out of themselves. What's not to like, eh?

my question to you people hating this movie is, "if you hate tom green so much, why did you rent this film?"

i mean, we should all know how tom green acts. personally, i find him funny in a controlled environment. this movie was your typical b-rated comedy and had its moments. i liked the film. some of you people rent these films figuring you'll be amazed by the great directing work or you try to find a much bigger meaning out of it. its a stoner flick people! plain old dumb humor.

i don't know whats more idiotic, writing a serious review on this movie or tom green's acting.

I was forced to watch it, it's my job (to check for potential problems), anyway I was expecting a b-rated stoner flick and it was even that, I agree totally that I shouldn't get to serious over this movie, but I was just blown away by how it failed to make me laugh, Tom Green isn't that horrible and sometimes he IS funny, I guess I was just let down. Oh and to the guy with comment about "skeletons in my closet", go blow a goat.

Crossdressers are hilarious dude(?)! If you are so offended maybe you should let those burgulars out of your closet and let them get their own clothes on because your taking it too seriously.

Well,I think ol' Mr. Tom Green blow's Goats and Sloths!!!! I rented "Freddy Got Fingered" and I got *beep*. Tom Green isn't the funniest but he can be funny. I'll be watching "Stealing Harvard" tonite and give you a comment on it later.

Well ... this movie wasnt really a great one, but hey, its unintellectual comedy, just "hit in the face"-comedy
And actually Tom green acted for the first time, instead of just being the "tom green" character, so there's an improval or something.

I LOVE JASON LEE. I really like Tom Green. This movie was TERRIBLE. I saw it in theaters and I was excited going in, and then I couldn't wait for it to end. It's been a while since I've seen it, but they showed all the good lines in the trailer, so the laughs you would've had in the theater are not as good, it also seemed like they were trying so hard to be funny it just didn't ring true. Jason Lee is better than this. Tom Green should stick to TV.

i love jason lee, and tom green makes me roar. I could not wait to go see this when it came out in theatres. And i saw it..... and was greatly disapointed.
this movie was border line funny and not up to the standards of lee, nor the wacky green.
