This was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Stupid and not really very entertaining, but not SO horrible that I couldn't sit through it.

I really am starting to hate Stiffler...I mean Sean William Scott. He plays the same godamn retard in every movie, and it's just not funny. (Although MUCH funnier than anything Chris Tucker has ever done.)

I only wanted to see this for Billy Bob Thornton. Sure he is playing a similar role to many of his previous films, but it is usually fairly entertaining and after the hilarious Bad Santa I will continue to watch his films in the hopes of even finding another half as funny.

Unfortunately this movie isn't funny, and Billy Bob's performance was about the only thing entertaining in it at all.

This movie was very funny. You really have to like Billy Bob to get the most out of it. In fact, you have to like Billy Bob to find it funny at all. I'm a huge fan of his...

4/5

I'm not a huge Billy Bob Thronton fan, but this seems like the perfect movie role for him. Anything would be better than that Bad News Bears thing he did a while ago, or whatever it was.

Actually, Mike ... Bad News Bears was better than this! Woodcock (rather than Rush Hour 3) would have been the better movie to go reel by reel showing how reliant on formula & bad filmmaking techniques the film is ... but I don't care enough to actually do that.
