Turned it off after 43 minutes into it. Nice idea, good premise. Horribly written, terrible, almost kitschy acting. And cliche till it's pounded through your skull, leaving you angrily numb.

In the commercials, they said that it was made from the same director or producer from "Superbad" and "knocked up". I would've never guessed it. It didn't even come close to being as funny as them.

Mr. Apatow, I know Spinal Tap. And this movie, sir, is no Spinal Tap. I barely laughed through this movie. Highly overrated and overhyped, many of the jokes cames across as underwhelming and overused.

If not for the hilarious Beatles moment and the Bob Dylan spoof, this movie would be nothing more than jokes told around the couch with a bunch of guys with beers in their hands and Dylan on the stereo. The movie might as well have a big If not for the hilarious Beatles moment and the Bob Dylan spoof, this movie would be nothing more than jokes told around the couch with a bunch of guys with beers in their hands and Dylan on the stereo. The movie might as well have a big sign that says "LAUGH NOW" everytime a joke is on screen. I was dissapointed to say the least.… Expand

It's the same joke, over and over again. So if you think it's funny the first time, you'll love this movie. I for one, thought it drew too much from "Walk the Line," and therefore they weren't able to actually go anywhere It's the same joke, over and over again.

I like John C. Reilly very much and expected this to be an embarrassingly stupid yet occasionally very funny movie. It threw me because it has fewer stupid slapstick moments than I expected and those it has weren't that funny. For me, I like John C.

Can't believe someone compared this movie to Anchorman. The only similarities for me is that they're movies. Anchorman was hilarious. Dewey Cox was simply not funny and boring.

A funny idea made by funny people that turns out to be not funny at all.

This movie was not nearly as funny as I had hoped, the jokes were re-hashed. Terrible writing and equally poor acting. Very disappointing. There seemed to be no point to some of the gags, they just didn't work.

This movie was awful. The scene that forced us to stare at some guy's genitals was about as painful as John C. Reilly's jokes.
