Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Intelligent Reviewing A very dumb film, Norm Macdonald can come across as observational funny & truthful on a tv set or standup, sketch show etc but this films script is unremittingly bad and the film blows, up a tree down a tree ... prosaic, you see every scene, plot device, setup and practically every line coming before it happens, if your above a certain age, all the cameo's are almost prosaic, a pointless use of people who are a bit past themselves, Norm does not translate to the cinema in this film. No strong chemistry between arte and norm. a film to really pass, maybe it would have been a 4 out of 10 - 25 years ago now it's a 2 merely for the fact that the film has bearable production values and because any film is a great deal of work to make, but just ideas wise its real dirty dumb work. 2 or 3 lines worked for me from a humour perspective, but they didn't even have an impact long enough to be remembered after the film ends. makes me wonder whether national lampoons or any of the frat comedies have aged any better? the world today has moved on and this film wasn't great to begin with but has aged badly.

wpenney This movie has stiff acting, a poorly strung together story, gags, awkward direction at times, and it's pretty clear that it wasn't meant to be PG-13 originally.But it's also possibly the most consistently funny movie I have ever seen. Norm's dry-as-the-desert delivery constantly creates laughs, and while it is largely a series of bits kind of trying to create a story, the bits are absolutely hilarious. I'm not surprised that many hate this movie, because if you want to get critical, there are definitely some flaws. But if you like to laugh yourself silly, and you like the literal, deadpan style that Norm is so great at, then I suggest relaxing and enjoying this one. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, and it holds a special place in my heart.

reverendtom This film got slammed by the critics when it came out, so I avoided seeing it for awhile. A few people told me it was hilarious, but I had my doubts. For some reason, Norm MacDonald had kind of rubbed me the wrong way on SNL. This film alone changed me from a Norm doubter to a huge Norm fan. It is a hilarious, nonsensical film filled with insanity, inanity and a ton of laughs. The cast is a comedy dream team: Norm, Artie Lange, Chevy Chase, Chris MacDonald, Chris Farley, Jack Warden, Don Rickles, a quick cameo by Sandler and a quick cameo by Gary Coleman AND a quick cameo by Tommie Hearns. This film is one of those great, great comedies that any critic would have to hate. It is stupid, yes, on purpose. It is crass, tasteless, idiotic, sophomoric and guess what else? Extremely funny. A must see for fans of less than brilliant comedy.

Tommy Nelson Stars: Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Jack Warden, Traylor Howard, Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, Don Rickles. Cameos: Adam Sandler, Gary Coleman, and many others.You can see in this movie why Norm McDonald was fired from SNL for not being funny. He and Artie Lange are our two main characters and neither are very good actors, so it's really hard to watch them at times. The plot deals with Mitch and Sam starting a revenge for hire business to pay for Sam's (and later revealed Mitch's) dad's (Warden)operation. Some scenes in this film are really quite funny, like the crossing guard that grabs kids rears, or Don Rickles at the movie theater, but more often then not it relies on really unfunny and stupid sex jokes. Bob Saget from Full House directed this, which might explain why it's so ridiculous at times. However it does have a great backup cast, including Chevy Chase as the addictive gambler Dr. Farthing and Chris Farley as a bar buddy that had his nose bit off by a Saigon whore.If you enjoy Norm MacDonald's brand of humor, you'll most likely enjoy this. My rating: **/****. 76 mins. PG-13 for Sexual humor, Language and Some Backside nudity.
