Please fellow OC's, save yourself the money.


I even went fully prepared to laugh (blazed) and came away pissed off at how terrible it was.

Funny parts? Yes, there's some extremely hilarious parts. But the rest of the movie doesn't make up for it.

If you went to the movies with a pre-disposed chance for the munchies? Jesus you probably spent $120 on Jr Mints and lemonheads.

I had major munchies but we stopped at UDF to pick up some cheap candy for the theater, ended up spending only about $4 haha.

I thought it was extremely necessary to add for the following reason:

When you're high, everything that isn't that funny becomes funnier. Therefore, if the movie was even decently funny I would have thought it was hilarious. However, it was SO bad that even my not sober self couldn't find much enjoyment being there.

I hope that helps you understand why I added that part.

I'm kinda with dlazz on this one, and I could care less if people toke it up. Lep's comments just kind of seemed random and remind of that guy everybody knows that instantly feels the need to brag and tell everybody that he smoked some pot.

its not random. its a well known side effect of pot and adding that element to the story makes the story better. if a kid who is baked doesnt think the movie is overall very funny, then chances are its not going to be funny. also, mentioning that you smoke pot isnt exactly bragging. he didnt say "man i took some huge fuckin bong loads before the movie".

I saw it last night and I have to say I just couldn't sit still through it.

I even fired down three huge rails of blow in the car and sneaked a few key bumps while in my seat.

Not sure what it was but this movie just couldn't keep my attention for any longer than about 4 seconds.

I trust your movie reviews as much as I think Thaddeus Gibson will be back at OSU next year.

Thank you for understanding what I'm saying, and the reason I included it in my post.

The movie was absolute shit. I should have trusted my gut and walked out when I saw Jeff Dunham's name in the opening credits. I would have saved myself 2 hours.

Guess after all these bad reviews I won't go see it this evening.
Sherm, Jeff Dunham is at the Ohio State Fair today I do believe.

I'm surprised people had to go to this movie to know it was bad. Nothing about the previews says that this would be a good movie. When the previews look like complete trash you know you're in trouble.

He's an extremely skilled ventriloquist. He's just not funny at all.

I never said you were lying. But the movie was getting decent reviews on Rotten Tomatoes...and that site hasn't steered me wrong yet. Until last night.

Besides, with the funny people in the cast like Rudd, Carell, the guy from Flight of the Conchords, and Zach Galifianakis...I was hoping to get a few more laughs than I got.
