Great Movie

I thought this was a really funny movie and I consider myself pretty picky. I have played tennis for many years so maybe the subject matter appealed to me as well. That the way it is with they types of movies, you like them or you don't. I don't like really dark humor , where people are hurt or there is violence , but I like the gags and the high school janitor thing. The movie says, "just be yourself" as well as keep a stripper around etc. etc.

I don't go for the mindless, low brow humor often seen in movies, but I really enjoyed this movie. It had more to it than just a bunch of stupid gags. You can't always go by the IMDb rating; this currently has a 5.4, and I liked it. Last night I watched Barney's Version with Paul Giamatti (whom I usually like) and did not like that movie--and its IMDb rating is well over 7.
