    A genial and instantly forgettable sports comedy.

    If you accept the film on its own brain-damaged level, there actually are laughs to be had.

    It's a good thing the two rappers are such utterly natural actors, armed with terrific comic timing.

    While not for every taste, this often very funny collegiate gross-out comedy goes a long way toward restoring the luster of the National Lampoon film franchise.

    There's so much going on it's hard to keep track, and after a while you may be tempted to give up.

    Comic Tommy Davidson, in particular, is hilarious as gangsta rapper Puff Smokey Smoke, who falls for Juwanna and then, in a twist lifted directly from the queen of all drag farces, 1959's "Some Like It Hot," decides he still loves her after she's exposed as Jamal. After all, nobody's perfect.

    An extremely loud and simpleminded cross between TV's "WWF Smackdown!" and "Dumb and Dumber."

    Sally Field has actually made a likeable movie.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 40 Steve Simels
    A hick-town, screwball comedy version of "Dog Day Afternoon," and surprisingly palatable despite its sitcom soul and star.

    If this is even a reasonably accurate account of someone's real life, then we as a culture may be in worse shape than we imagine.

    This broad, coarse farce is otherwise as insubstantial a piece of work as you could possibly imagine; in fact, a light breeze could blow it away.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 20 Steve Simels
    A butt-numbing exercise in tedium, sporadically redeemed by moments of unintentional hilarity.

    It may not be as epochal a piece of work as "Mean Streets," but packs what feels like a real-life punch none the less.
