Perfect Johnny Knoxville. He is becoming a very good actor. There weren't really any dragging parts in this and Katherine Heigel(sp?) gets a good 8 on my Greco scale. I was surprised at the acting ability of the handicapped actors. They were VERY good. Overall, not a bad way to spend a matinee, not a prime show. 6.7/10.

Sorry, buddy but I gotta disagree here.
The handicapped actors delivered better performances than Knoxville.
Horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Even in the ass-backwards market I'm in the people aren't laughing at this dud.
Everything was predictable and rediculously dumb.
I give it a 1.

*Dialog spoiler ahead*
The only part I laughed at was when they got caught outside the theater.
When the fuck did we get ice cream?
That was good.

I thought that part was the best too, but I never said Knoxville was amazing.

That's what I'm in disagreement with. I don't really think he's becoming that good of an actor at all.

Did you get any ice cream?!
