Review.
The title of this movie was what I was thinking when they matched up Heather Graham and Chris Klein in a movie of any genre. They have done some alright material in the past but for the most part are below average actors with very poor choices of movies. Heather Graham in particular has done some atrocious work that burns in my memory like Cake and Gray Matters so this had Bomb written all over it. This movie I hate to say it although tired and predictable in places had some moments of funniness that makes me loosely recommend it to people looking for some classless humor. Chris Klein carries himself well as Gilly and shows that he is not a complete stranger to comedy. What he needs to work on is his delivery which is horrible to say the least. Heather Graham for the most part is a sub part but she does it adequately so there are no complaints here. My favorite character is Dig McCaffrey played by Orlando Jones. His crazy legless character had me laughing in more than a couple of places. This movie is far from perfect as weird characters and situations are never in short supply in this film. The problem being is they are way over the top leaving the story disjointed and unbelievable. My two worst characters were the Indian minority at the barbershop and the dad that speaks through a voice box. That humor has been done way too much in the past and was pretty lame in this movie. But for the most part this movie delivers some solid comedy that culminates in a cow punch you are surely never to forget. Give this one a chance as it is worth checking out for some mindless laughs.
T Factor + Found the weird characters funnier then I did then this could score higher on the rating scale.
T Factor â?? Found Orlando Jones character less funny then I did then this could score lower on the rating scale.
If you liked this film reel recommendations: Thereâ??s Something About Mary, or Me Myself and Irene.
