The wife and I saw it friday. I enjoyed it a lot. I kind've thought all of the funny parts would be in the previews, but they weren't. It is worth seeing IMO.

It was one of the funnier movies I've seen in a while, and I thought is was funnier than Get Him to the Greek which I was very disappointed with.

Wow how can anyone think all of the funny parts would be in the previews with this many funny people in the movie?

It just seemed like it could be one of those movies to me. Glad I was wrong though. I had seen the rope swing part so many times I could act it out perfectly. Doug Heffernan is the man though.

I heard the critics where debating if they should even give it 1 star. Kinda sad really

yeah I went out and watched it. I laughed a good bit, but it isn't that all that funny or clever. The audience was laughing a few times while I was cringing. A lot of the humor is just the guys sitting around roasting each other and ad-libbing in a PG-13 sort of way. Seemed like it tried to be an Apatow movie but it didn't want to go the extra distance to get that R rating. Lots of poop, pee, and fart humor in this one, which was funny for a while but it did kind of get old.

It struggles really for a clear plot.

But I still enjoyed the comedy and the typical Sandler movie characters.

Ah I'm just not a normal person I guess because I have never found toilet humor that funny.

Saw it tonight and thought it was funny. It is not "OLD SCHOOL" funny but it is a good movie that any adult with kids can relate to unless you are David Spade's character then you can laugh at yourself during the movie. If you want a Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison movie then you'll be disappointed.

This movie also made me want to get together with a bunch of old friends and hang out.
