Critic Reviews
A tepid and surprisingly dull farce stamped from the "About Mary" mold.
You can see Bobby and Peter Farrelly bent over blowing violently into the sails of this toy boat, trying to get it to move.
For me, the Farrelly Brothers never rise beyond the late-night tittering of kids at summer camp.
Doesn't quite reach the heights - though it does plumb the depths - of its hugely popular predecessor. But it will have an enormous, appreciative audience doubled over with belly-busting laughs.
This is a farfetched premise, and the movie pays a price for it.
At some point the foul language, lascivious sight gags, references to sex toys, violence against animals and cruelty toward children simply ceases to be funny.
Hilarious, but it isn't much of a movie.
You are hereby absolved of all guilt when you laugh your ass off in the first half of the film.
The movie is dedicated, in a nice touch, to early Farrelly fan Gene Siskel. And Gene was right: The Farrellys are often very funny filmmakers. .
It has a few laughs, but it also has a lot of dead air, and barely any plot at all. In sporting terms, it's no home run.
It's not dumb-good. It's dumb-stupid.
While they've managed to make a funny movie, they haven't made a great comedy.
Utterly charmless - there's not even a glimmer.
Irresistibly deranged.
