Not as funny as a root canal, but cheaper

Wow.  I just watched this movie for the first time after many friends I formerly respected recommended it.  To be honest, it wasn't all bad, just the parts that Tom Green had anything at all to do with.  Mr. Green is as funny as Will Ferrell doing his taxes while watching "Ishtar" in a burning orphanage on the Titanic.  He is to comedy what Stephen Hawking is to comedy.  His brand of "humor" is for those people that use phrases like "book-lurnin'" and found "Animal House" and "Police Academy" far too cerebral and uppity.  His success can only be explained by way of speculation that he has made some sort of deal with Satan, undoubtedly that Tom will be given fame and riches, on the condition that he never set foot in Hell as I'm sure even Satan's standards for humor are higher than this. Sorry.  Was I ranting just then?  I feel so cleansed.


On to the rest of the movie.  Predictable, yes, but not without a few laughs.  Many of these are provided at the expense of taste, but anyone who watches this movie should be expecting that based on the familiar teen movie cast.  Check your standards at the door.

Don't get me wrong, I don't consider this movie to be a waste of time. It gave me a chance to work on my Tom Green effigy.
