Why the Movie Sucked...
First off, Im a fan of Artie Lange.. which is why I watched this recently. I even bought the bluray at the swapmeet for 4 bucks just for the special features. lol
Anyway, the movie is actually quite funny. But In the same way that Artie is hilarious on the Howard Stern show. If you listen to a show of Sterns, you'll pretty much laugh or chuckle every time Artie says something. So while the show was funny, it wouldn't make a good movie as a whole.
Same with the movie. Almost all the jokes were funny, but the movie it self just wasn't something you could really enjoy. Personally, I liked the movie, but I can see why it bombed.
Lastly, it didn't star anybody famous. lol Replace the cast with A listers, and it would have done way better.
I <3 Emily Blunt
