Critic Reviews
Surprisingly funny, a deep-down-good-hearted take on that oldest of comedy conventions, the ill-prepared rube caught up in a situation that somehow never gets the best of him.
It's not to say that the adolescent humor isn't funny; some of it is hilarious. It's just that this movie lacks the overarching comic sensibility that made "Mary" and even Adam Sandler comedies like "Happy Gilmore" and "The Waterboy" so satisfying.
If you buy the gross, it's surprisingly funny .
It's choppy and cheap-looking, and it has dead spots like the Sahara, but it also has a surprising number of genuinely funny bits, most of them slapsticky and gleefully rude.
A considerable cut above the crop of recent features by other 'SNL' alums.
To paraphrase the movie's too-knowing tag line: It's not very funny. But when the lights go out -- it's still not very funny.
A pathetically dumb attempt to string a bunch of second-rate skits together like a garland of rotten cranberries.
The kind of surprising giggles that make you wonder why you're laughing--- that's worth a few bucks.
The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes.
He's (Sandler) trying to clone himself by supporting his buddies in making low-budget, high-grossing -- in all senses of the word -- formula films just like his own.
Custom-designed for 13 year-olds, laden with broad sight gags, gross sound effects and a bowlful of potty jokes.
